Charles Weissmann (born 14 October 1931) is a Hungarian-Swiss molecular biologist. Weissmann is particularly known for the first cloning and expression of interferon and his contributions to the unraveling of the molecular genetics of neurogenerative prion diseases such as scrapie, Creutzfeldt–Jakob disease and "mad cow disease".
Dr. Weissmann resigned from the Biogen Science Board in 1986 and the company merged with IDEC in 2003. He is currently Chairman of the Department of Infectology, Scripps Research Institute, Florida.

Charles Weissman is a molecular geneticist who is best known for being the first to clone the genes for interferon, a protein released in response to viral infection that can now be synthesised on an industrial scale for use as a medicine.
Apr 2, 2012 · Eric Sauter of News&Views recently had the opportunity to chat with Charles Weissmann, chair of the Department of Infectology at Scripps Florida who is retiring April 30, about some of the experiences and insights he has gained during his 60-year career in research.
Charles Weissmann is a renowned molecular biologist who cloned the human interferon alpha gene and the prion protein gene. He received the Warren Alpert Foundation Prize in 2003 for his contributions to the fields of RNA replication, reverse genetics, and prion research.
