Dr. Mae-Wan Ho is a noted and controversial holistic scientist and a critic of genetic engineering. Her career spans more than 30 years in research and teaching in biochemistry, evolution, molecular genetics, and biophysics. She is the Co-Founder and Director of the UK-based Institute of Science in Society. She is former head of the Bio-Electrodynamics laboratory at the Open University in Milton Keynes, England. She is Editor of the radical science magazine, Science in Society. She also is a Scientific Advisor to the Third World Network.
Dr. Mae-Wan Ho obtained her Bachelor of Science degree in Biology in 1964, and her Ph. D. in Biochemistry in 1967 from Hong Kong University, and was Postdoctoral Fellow in Biochemical Genetics at the University of California in San Diego from 1968-1972. During that time, she won a competitive Fellowship at the US National Genetics Foundation, which took her to the University of London in the United Kingdom, where she became Senior Research Fellow at Queen Elizabeth College.
At the Open University, she was a Lecturer in Genetics from 1976-2000 and a Reader in Biology from 1985-2000. She currently remains Visiting Reader in Biology at the Open University, and is also a Visiting Professor of Biophysics at Catania University in Sicily.
Dr. Mae-Wan Ho has authored or co-authored a number of publications, including 10 books, such as The Rainbow and the Worm, the Physics of Organisms (1993, 1998), Genetic Engineering Dream or Nightmare? (1998, 1999), and Living with the Fluid Genome (2003).
