Excerpt:

Dr. Robert Lane received a B.A. degree in psychology from the
University of California at Berkeley (UCB), an M.A. degree in
biology at San Francisco State College, and a Ph.D. in entomology
at UCB. While employed as a California State public health
biologist he began his long-standing studies of the biology of
ticks and the ecology and epidemiology of tick-borne disease
agents. In 1984, Dr. Lane joined the faculty of UCB as a medical
entomologist, a position he has held until the present. The
diseases he and his many co-workers have investigated include
Colorado tick fever, human granulocytic anaplasmosis, relapsing
fever, Rocky Mountain spotted fever, tularemia, and particularly
Lyme disease. Findings from these studies have elucidated the
basic transmission cycles of and risk factors for spotted
fever-group rickettsiae and Lyme disease spirochetes in the far
western United States. Bob is a Fellow of both the California
Academy of Sciences and the American Association for the
Advancement of Science, a recipient of a UCB Biology Faculty
Research Award and the C.W.
