David A. Agard is a professor of biochemistry and biophysics at the University of California, San Francisco. He earned his B.S. in molecular biochemistry and biophysics from Yale University and his Ph.D. in biological chemistry from California Institute of Technology. His research is focused on understanding the basic principles of macromolecular structure and function. He is a scientific director of the Institute for Bioengineering, Biotechnology, and Quantitative Biomedical Research and was a Howard Hughes Medical Institute (HHMI) investigator between 1986-2019.
In July 2022, the Chan Zuckerberg Initiative announced that Agard would serve on the founding scientific leadership team of the newly created Chan Zuckerberg Institute for Advanced Biological Imaging, a research center devoted to developing next-generation imaging technologies that enable “broad, full-scale views of biological systems.”[3]
