Frank J. Rauscher, III, Ph.D. is a researcher at The Wistar Institute in Philadelphia.[1][2][3] Rauscher is also a professor of genetics at the University of Pennsylvania School of Medicine. He graduated from Moravian College in 1979.[4] His research focuses on mechanisms responsible for gene silencing during development and homeostasis and disruptions associated with the initiation of tumors.

When Rauscher first arrived at Wistar, one of his research priorities was the tumor suppressor gene wt1 and its role in the development of Wilms' tumor.[5] Rauscher's research found that if wt1 is mutated, cells of the kidney might continue to grow out of control.[6]

Rauscher is the former editor-in-chief of the journal Cancer Research.[7] He is the son of Frank J. Rauscher, Jr., former director of the National Cancer Institute.[8]
