  • Straight Shooter
    Danny Reinberg chose an unconventional model organism to study gene expression. In the process, he’s revealed fascinating things about ants, behavior, and aging. by robin marantz henig Straight Shooter photography by mackenzie stroh HHMI Bulletin / Winter 2014 17 Photo credit Photo 18 Winter 2014 / HHMI Bulletin Supportive and Intense From a young age, Reinberg set about defying expectations. As the oldest in a family of two boys and two girls, he was expected to take over the family business. But he hated working in his father’s stores, where he sold jewelry and furniture during school breaks. Like most young people in his city, he was expected to live at home until he married, but he couldn’t wait to get away from a household filled with discord. So at age 19, he moved into his grandfather’s small apartment in Viña del Mar, one and a half hours away, and eventually studied science at the Pontificia Universidad Católica de Valparaíso. “My father hoped that if I didn’t take over the family business, I’d at least become a doctor or a lawyer,” he says. “But that’s not what I wanted.” At the university, Reinberg loved all of science: physics, chemistry, and especially biology—the more the better. “In Chile no one worked on weekends,” he says. “I was the only crazy person at the microscope on Saturdays and Sundays.” He finished with a degree in cell biology in 1976 and started a doctoral program in Santiago in a histology/cell biology lab. When he found the science to be too descriptive, he switched to biochemistry.
