Helen Donis-Keller
Helen Donis-Keller is the Michael E. Moody Professor and Professor of Biology and Art at Olin College of Engineering in Needham, Massachusetts. She earned her Ph.D. at Harvard University under the direction of Walter Gilbert. After employment at biotechnology companies Biogen and Collaborative Research, she joined the faculty at Washington University School of Medicine. During her time at Collaborative Research, her research group created the first genetic map of the human genome.[1] Donis-Keller was unable to secure either NIH or venture funding for generating the RFLP map, but convinced Collaborative Research's management to fund the project.[2]
