Robin Cook was born
May 4, 1940 in
Brooklyn, NY. His
undergraduate work at
Wesleyan in
chemistry earned him honors (
summa cum laude). He then attended
medical school at the
Columbia College of Physicians and Surgeons, while spending his
summers at
Jacques Cousteau Institute in
Monaco.
After graduating, he entered the Navy, spending one tour on the submarine USS Kamehameha, followed by a tour at
the Deep Submarine Systems Project (Sea Lab). Following his discharge, he took an
opthalmology residency at Harvard.
After completing his residency, he attended Harvard's Kennedy School of Government, simultaneously with opening his private practice, (opthalmology), in Marblehead, MA, and teaching at the Harvard Medical School, while seeing patients at Massachusetts Eye and Ear Infirmary.
His success as an author has allowed him a leave of absence, and he now lives in Florida, celebrating the birth of his son, Cameron Cook
