Age, Biography and Wiki
Michael Levine is an American biologist and geneticist who is best known for his research on the genetic basis of development. He is currently a professor of molecular and cell biology at the University of California, Berkeley. He was born on December 20, 1939 in West Hollywood, California. Levine received his B.A. in biology from the University of California, Los Angeles in 1961 and his Ph.D. in genetics from the University of California, Berkeley in 1965. He then went on to do postdoctoral work at the California Institute of Technology and the University of California, San Francisco. Levine's research focuses on the genetic basis of development, particularly the role of transcription factors in controlling gene expression. He has made significant contributions to the understanding of how genes are regulated during development and how mutations in these genes can lead to disease. He has also studied the role of epigenetic modifications in gene regulation. Levine has received numerous awards for his work, including the National Medal of Science in 2006 and the Albert Lasker Basic Medical Research Award in 2009. He is a member of the National Academy of Sciences and the American Academy of Arts and Sciences. As of 2021, Michael Levine's net worth is estimated to be around $1 million.

Timeline
Levine joined the Princeton faculty in 2015, and had been a professor at UC Berkeley after leaving UCSD in 1996.
After earning tenure in only four years at Columbia, Levine moved to UCSD in 1991, where he added the sea squirt, Ciona intestinalis, to his repertoire. Although much of Levine's work, including his homeobox studies, has been done in Drosophila Levine's team is also prominent in work with the sea squirt, Ciona intestinalis, an invertebrate that facilitates study of development. For example, this work included insights into classical myodeterminants and the composition of the notochord, the defining tissue of the chordate phylum.
Levine previously held appointments at the University of California, Berkeley, the University of California, San Diego, and Columbia University. He is notable for co-discovering the Homeobox in 1983 and for discovering the organization of the regulatory regions of developmental genes.
Levine was a post-doc with Walter Gehring in Switzerland from 1982 to 1983. There, he co-discovered the homeobox with Ernst Hafen and fellow post-doc William McGinnis:
After learning that Ultrabithorax, a gene that specifies the development of wings, showed a localized pattern of expression similar to that of Antennapedia, they decided to revisit the classic papers of Ed Lewis. In 1978, Lewis had proposed that all these homeotic genes (the ones that tell animals where to put a wing and where to put a leg and so on) arose from a common ancestral gene. So McGinnis carved up the Antennapedia gene and, using those pieces as probes, the trio identified eight genes, which turned out to be the eight homeotic genes in flies. "That pissed off a lot of people," says Levine. "The homeotic genes were the trophies of the Drosophila genome. And we got 'em all. I mean, we got 'em all!" Far from being humble, Levine says, "We were like, 'We kicked your ass pretty good, didn't we, baby!' Those were the days."
Levine was born in West Hollywood and raised in Los Angeles. Levine studied biology as an undergraduate at UC Berkeley, studying biology with Allan Wilson and graduating in 1976. He went on to graduate studies at Yale, where he studied with Alan Garen and in 1981 received a Ph.D. in molecular biophysics and biochemistry.
