    ANTONIS ROKAS, Ph.D. – Brief Curriculum Vitae Department of Biological Sciences [email protected] Vanderbilt University office: +1 (615) 936 3892 VU Station B #35-1634, Nashville TN, USA http://www.rokaslab.org/ BRIEF BIOGRAPHY: I am the holder of the Cornelius Vanderbilt Chair in Biological Sciences and Professor in the Departments of Biological Sciences and of Biomedical Informatics at Vanderbilt University. I received my undergraduate degree in Biology from the University of Crete, Greece (1998) and my PhD from Edinburgh University, Scotland (2001). Prior to joining Vanderbilt in the summer of 2007, I was a postdoctoral fellow at the University of Wisconsin-Madison (2002 – 2005) and a research scientist at the Broad Institute (2005 – 2007). Research in my laboratory focuses on the study of the DNA record to gain insight into the patterns and processes of evolution. Through a combination of computational and experimental approaches, my laboratory’s current research aims to understand the molecular foundations of the fungal lifestyle, the reconstruction of the tree of life, and the evolution of human pregnancy. I serve on many journals’ editorial boards, including eLife, Current Biology, BMC Genomics, BMC Microbiology, G3:Genes|Genomes|Genetics, Fungal Genetics & Biology, Evolution, Medicine & Public Health, Frontiers in Microbiology, Microbiology Resource Announcements, and PLoS ONE. My team’s research has been recognized by many awards, including a Searle Scholarship (2008), an NSF CAREER award (2009), a Chancellor’s Award for Research (2011), and an endowed chair (2013). Most recently, I was named a Blavatnik National Awards for Young Scientists Finalist (2017), a Guggenheim Fellow (2018), and a Fellow of the American Academy of Microbiology (2019).

  • Correspondence of Maria Van Rensselaer (1669-1689)
    CORRESPONDENCE OF MARIA VAN RENSSELAER 1669-1689 Translated and edited by A. J. F. VAN LAER Archivist, Archives and History Division ALBANY THE UNIVERSITY OF THE STATE OF NEW YORK I 935 PREFACE In the preface to the Correspondence of Jeremias van Rens­ selaer, which was piiblished in 1932, attention was called to the fact that after the death of Jeremias van Rensselaer his widow carried on a regular correspondence with her husband's youngest brother, Richard van Rensselaer, in regard to the administration of the colony of Rensselaerswyck, and the plan was announced to publish this correspondence in another volume. This plan has been carried into effect in the present volume, which contains translations of all that has been preserved of the correspondence of Maria van Rensselaer, including besides the correspondence with her brother-in-law many letters which passed between her and her brother Stephanus van Cortlandt and other members of the Van Cortlandt family. Maria van Rensselaer was born at New York on July 20, 1645, and was the third child of Oloff Stevensen van Cortlandt and his wife Anna Loockermans. She married on July 12, 1662, when not quite 17 years of age, Jeremias van Rensselaer, who in 1658 had succeeded his brother Jan Baptist van Rensse­ laer as director of the colony of Rensselaerswyck. By him she had four sons and two daughters, her youngest son, Jeremias, being born shortly after her husband's death, which occurred on October 12, 1674. As at the time there was no one available who could succeed Jeremias van Rensselaer as director of the colony, the burden of its administration fell temporarily upon his widow, who in this emergency sought the advice of her brother Stephanus van Cortlandt.
