Eric F. Wieschaus, a renowned Development Biologist in the United States, is projected to have a net worth ranging from $100K to $1M in 2024. Wieschaus has gained recognition in the scientific community for his groundbreaking work in the field of developmental biology. His extensive research and discoveries have significantly contributed to our understanding of how embryos develop and form different body structures. With numerous accolades and decades of experience in the field, Wieschaus' net worth serves as a testament to his significant contributions to the scientific community.
Born in South Bend, Indiana, he attended John Carroll Catholic High School in Birmingham, AL before attending the University of Notre Dame for his undergraduate studies (B.S., biology), and Yale University (Ph.D., biology) for his graduate work. In 1978, he moved to his first independent job, at the European Molecular Biology Laboratory in Heidelberg, Germany and moved from Heidelberg to Princeton University in the United States in 1981.
In 1995, he was awarded the Nobel Prize in Physiology or Medicine with Edward B. Lewis and Christiane Nüsslein-Volhard as co-recipients, for their work revealing the genetic control of embryonic development.
As of 2005, Wieschaus is the Squibb Professor in Molecular Biology at Princeton, and Adjunct Professor of Biochemistry at the University of Medicine and Dentistry of New Jersey – Robert Wood Johnson Medical School.
