David S. Eisenberg (born 15 March 1939{{citation needed|date=June 2013}}) is an American biochemist and biophysicist best known for his contributions to structural biology and computational molecular biology. He has been a professor at the University of California, Los Angeles since the early 1970s and was director of the UCLA-DOE Institute for Genomics & Proteomics, as well as a member of the California NanoSystems Institute (CNSI) at UCLA.[http://www.hhmi.org/research/investigators/eisenberg_bio.html HHMI profile of David Eisenberg][http://www.doe-mbi.ucla.edu/People/Eisenberg/ The Eisenberg research lab at UCLA][http://www.doe-mbi.ucla.edu UCLA-DOE Institute for Genomics & Proteomics]{{YouTube|S7U-nXAWtvs|David Eisenberg’s speech during the Harvey Prize ceremony}}{{cite book |author1=Eisenberg, David |author2=Kauzmann, Walter |title=The structure and properties of water |publisher=Clarendon Press |location=Oxford |year=2005 |isbn=0-19-857026-0 }}{{AcademicSearch|926759}}{{Scopus|id=19434183500}}
