Frederick Robert Bieber (born February 9, 1950) is a Medical Geneticist at Brigham and Women's Hospital, a member of the Faculty of Medicine at Harvard University, and a Consultant at the Massachusetts General Hospital and the Children's Hospital Boston.
Born in Canada, Bieber spent his early years in Strasbourg, Saskatchewan, a small prairie wheat farming community about 75 km NE of Regina. He is the son of a World War II veteran of the Royal Canadian Air Force who studied engineering at the University of Toronto, and a nurse who studied in Hamilton, Ontario. During his childhood in Strasbourg he developed a lifelong love of animals and the outdoors, and a near-obsession with farm equipment, especially farm tractors.
When his family later emigrated to Rochester, New York he completed pre-college studies there and in Buenos Aires, Argentina. He attended public schools in Rochester, New York, was selected as the Standard Bearer of the Abelard Reynolds No. 42 School, and is an alumnus of Charlotte High School (Rochester, New York) and of Colegio Ward in Buenos Aires, Argentina. He was active in sports and music in high school and college where developed an interest in genetics during his studies of ethics and mathematics.
