During

a career that spanned more than 40 years, Adrian Srb’s research answered

fundamental questions in the field of molecular genetics. Using primarily the

bread mold Neurospora, he provided early evidence for the “one

gene-one enzyme” hypothesis, as well as a wealth of information about how

mutations affect the function of genes that are involved in growth and

metabolism, how specific compounds are able to mutate genes, and how heritability

is affected by the cytoplasm. Srb studied English literature as an

undergraduate at the University of Nebraska before his interest was drawn to

biology. He earned a masters degree in agronomy from the University of Nebraska

in 1941 and earned his PhD in biology  from Stanford University in 1946.

He followed his mentor to the California Institute of Technology, working as a

National Research Council fellow while simultaneously appointed as assistant

professor at Stanford. In 1947 Srb moved to Cornell University as an assistant

professor and was promoted to full professor in 1951. He remained on the

faculty at Cornell for the rest of his career. In addition to his published

research, Srb co-authored the first and second editions of the was, for many years, the standard that other genetic textbooks authors

sought to emulate. During World War II, he participated in a research project

at Stanford to boost the penicillin production of Penicillium, and in later years he

advised federal agencies and universities on the importance of

multidisciplinary research, education, and training programs in genetics. Srb

was a member of the Botany Section of the National Academy of Sciences. He was

also a fellow of the American Academy of Arts and Sciences, the American

Association for the Advancement of Science, and the American Society of

Naturalists. He was an honorary foreign fellow of the Botanical Society of

Edinburgh and an honorary member of the Chilean Genetics Society.
