After studying at the Albert Szent-Gyorgyi School of Medicine, Semmelweis Medical School and University of California (UCLA), he obtained his Ph.D. in evolutionary studies on cobra venom from Columbia University. Following a research project on genetically isolated populations at Rockefeller University, he returned to Columbia University, where he continues his research on biodiversity and evolutionary genetics and teaches the herpetology course.
