Randy W. Schekman (born December 30, 1948) is an American cell biologist at the University of California, Berkeley[1] and Editor-in-Chief of Proceedings of the National Academy of Sciences[2][3][4]. In 2011 he was announced as the editor of a new high profile open access journal published by the Howard Hughes Medical Institute, the Max Planck Society and the Wellcome Trust launching in 2012[5]. He was elected to the National Academy of Sciences in 1992.
In 2002, Schekman received the Albert Lasker Award for Basic Medical Research[6] and Louisa Gross Horwitz Prize of Columbia University along with James Rothman for their discovery of cellular membrane trafficking, a process that cells use to organize their activities and communicate with their environment.
The Schekman laboratory carries out research into molecular descriptions of the process of membrane assembly and vesicular traffic[7] in eukaryotic cells[8][9] including yeast.[10]
