Anatol Eberhard obtained his BA with highest honors,
majoring in chemistry, at the University of California at Berkeley in 1959.
With a Woodrow Wilson Fellowship, he went on to Harvard University to obtain
a masters and a PhD in physical-organic chemistry in 1964 with Prof. F.H.
Westheimer. He then did two years of post-doctoral work, again at Berkeley,
but this time in zoology, working with sea urchin eggs under the guidance
of Prof. D. Mazia. After this, he moved East again and taught introductory
biology labs and physiology for five years in the biology department at
Harvard. He also taught in the Marine Microbial Ecology course at the Marine
Biological Lab in Woods Hole and environmental chemistry on the little
island San Salvador in the Bahamas. He joined the Ithaca College chemistry
department as a bio-organic chemist in 1972. Dr. Eberhard's current research
interest is bioluminescence. Specific areas of
his research include the bio-organic chemistry of autoinduction and autoinducers
and quorum-sensing in disease.
Dr. Eberhard has spent sabbaticals at the City of Hope
Medical Center in Duarte, CA; at the Scripps Institution of Oceanography;
at the University of California at San Francisco; at the University of
Konstanz in Germany; and at the Woods Hole Oceanographic Institution.
Outside of class and the lab, Dr. Eberhard enjoys such
things as windsurfing, sailing and house renovation and repair. He prefers
classical and ethnic music and ethnic food. He was born in Turkey where
he lived until he was 10. He then resided in Berkeley, CA, for seven years,
Pakistan for one year, and finally Cambridge, MA for 10 years. He currently
lives in the countryside near Ithaca and spends his summers in Woods Hole,
MA. He is fluent in German, speaks some French and a smattering of Turkish
and Urdu.
