Thomas P Hopp was born in Seattle, Washington and lived his earliest years in a housing project. Despite a tough start in life, a perfect score on the Graduate Record Exam gained him entry to the Ph.D. program in biochemistry at Cornell University Medical College. He then studied genetic engineering in Nobel Prize winning labs at Rockefeller University and went on to help found the multi-billion-dollar biotechnology company, Immunex Corporation. He isolated the critical immune-stimulating hormone, interleukin 1, and invented the first commercially successful nanotechnology device, a molecular handle called the Flag epitope.
Tom plays guitar and bass and has performed onstage with blues legend John Lee Hooker and rock supergroups The Kingsmen and The Drifters. He has lived in San Diego and on Manhattan Island, but now resides near his hometown, Seattle.
Birth Place: Seattle, WA USA
Accomplishments: Thomas has a PhD in Protein Chemistry from Cornell Medical College. He studied fiction writing at the University of Washington and was awarded certificates in both Literary and Commercial Fiction. His novels and short stories have been finalist entries five times in the prestigious Pacific Northwest Writers Competition. His novel, The Jihad Virus, took third prize in that event in 2003 and a short story, "Earth Rover," took the same prize in 2005.
