David J. Lipman is an American biologist who from 1989[3] to 2017 was the director of the National Center for Biotechnology Information (NCBI) at the National Institutes of Health.[4][5] NCBI is the home of GenBank,[6] the U.S. node of the International Sequence Database Consortium, and PubMed, one of the most heavily used sites in the world for the search and retrieval of biomedical information. Lipman is one of the original authors of the BLAST sequence alignment program, and a respected figure in bioinformatics.[7][8][9] In 2017, he left NCBI and became Chief Science Officer at Impossible Foods.[10]
