Louis Anthony Tartaglia is an American biochemist, pharmaceutical scientist, and entrepreneur.[1] As a scientist, he is known for first identifying and cloning the leptin receptor in 1995,[2] a discovery that prompted immediate coverage in US media.[3][4] The discovery of the leptin receptor facilitated the understanding of the mechanism of leptin action and of several genes regulating body weight and possibly obesity. Tartaglia is also known for studying signaling mechanisms from the tumor necrosis factor (TNF) receptors, and for authoring other cited research in the fields of obesity and diabetes.[5][6] Tartaglia was born in Albany, New York in 1963.
Education[edit]
In 1990, Tartaglia received his Ph.D. in biochemistry from UC Berkeley in the laboratory of professor Bruce Ames. Between 1990 and 1993, he did postdoctoral research in the lab of David Goeddel at Genentech, authoring a dozen original papers in peer-reviewed journals.[7]
