He received his Ph.D. in physics from the California Institute of Technology in 1950. Glaser accepted a position as an instructor at the University of Michigan and was promoted to professor in 1957. He joined the faculty of the University of California, Berkeley in 1959 as a Professor of Physics. In 1964, he was given the additional title of Professor of Molecular Biology.

The concept Glaser had in mind, therefore, was just the reverse of the cloud chamber: a device with a liquid ready to boil rather than a vapor ready to condense to a liquid.
DonaldArthurGlaser was born in Cleveland, Ohio, on September 21, 1926, the son of William J. Glaser, a businessman, and his wife Lena.
Glaser began his career of full-time teaching and research in the Physics Department of the University of Michigan in the autumn of 1949, being promoted to the rank of Professor in 1957.
Glaser turned away from physics in 1962 to explore the new field of molecular biology, which had fascinated him from his time in graduate school at Caltech.
