Scott Allen Tenenbaum is an American microbiologist, nanobioscientist, and academic researcher.[3] His important research areas are RNA biology, RNA-binding proteins, post-transcriptional gene regulation, and RNA nanotechnology. [3] At the University at Albany he is the Director of RNA Nanotechnology and an associate professor of Nanobioscience. [4] The main areas of his research are RIP/RIP-Seq and sxRNA. [3] His work has also been covered by independent news outlets such as the Times Union.[5]

Early life and education

Tenenbaum studied biology at University of Michigan (1982-1984). [6] In 1986, he transferred to the University of Missouri, Columbia, and completed his BA in biology.[6] From 1987-1989, he studied microbiology and immunology at Wright State University.[6] In 1994, he did a PhD in Microbiology and Immunology at Tulane University Medical Center. [6][3] His PhD was on viral-host interactions and autoimmune disease mechanisms.[6] From 1994-1997, he did a postdoctoral fellowship in Hematology and Oncology at Tulane University Medical Center, studying HIV resistance under Cynthia Leissinger.[6] From 1997-2003, he did postdoctoral research at Duke University Medical Center, working on RNA-binding proteins and gene regulation.[6][3]

Career

From 2000-2003, Tenenbaum was a Senior Research Associate at Duke University Medical Center.[3] In 2003, he joined the University at Albany as an Assistant Professor in the Department of Biomedical Sciences.[3] In 2009, he became an Associate Professor of Nanobioscience and also became Associate Head of the Nanobioscience Constellation.[6][3] From 2009-2011, he served as Acting Vice President for Research.[6][3] From 2009-2024, he was Head of Nanobioscience at the University at Albany-SUNY and later at SUNY Polytechnic Institute.[6][3] In 2014, he became Director of RNA Nanotechnology and still holds this position today.[6][3] In 2025, he became Director of Graduate Studies in the Department of Nanoscience and Engineering.[6] He is also affiliated with the RNA Institute at the University at Albany. [7]

Research

Tenenbaum worked with Jack Keene at Duke and helped create a new method to find groups of mRNA. The area is called "ribonomics."[8] His lab created RIP, RIP-Chip, and RIP-Seq techniques. These are used by researchers around the world to study RNA-protein interactions.[9][10] He was a member of the NIH ENCODE Consortium from 2004 to 2011. This was a big project to map the human genome.[6][11] His ENCODE papers have been cited about 5,000 times.[3][12] Since the 2010s, he has been working on sxRNA, a new RNA technology.[3][13]

Media coverage

Tenenbaum's federally funded research has been independently reported by the Times Union, the Albany, New York region's newspaper of record. In 2020, the newspaper reported that Tenenbaum and a colleague received a $320,000 NIH grant to study RNA-based methods related to Alzheimer's disease.[5] In 2016, the paper reported that Tenenbaum received a $2.4 million NIH grant to study how RNA can be engineered with a "kill switch" for cancer cells.[14] During the COVID-19 pandemic, the paper reported that Tenenbaum was co-leading a SUNY Poly project, alongside Nate Cady, to develop an advanced COVID-19 test.[15]
