Early life and education


Bouton's mother, Barbara Bouton, worked as an investment banker at Goldman Sachs and his father, Marshall Bouton, is a political scientist who most recently ran the Chicago Council on Global Affairs. Bouton was born in 1973 in Chicago, Illinois. His family moved from Chicago to Brooklyn, New York, New Delhi, India, Washington, DC and then back to Brooklyn.
Bouton attended Saint Ann's School (Brooklyn) for high school. While at Saint Ann's he was awarded sixth place in the Westinghouse Science Talent Search in 1992 for research that he performed at the Jackson Laboratory. He then attended Amherst College for his undergraduate education and Johns Hopkins University for his Ph.D.
While at Johns Hopkins, Bouton worked in the laboratory of Jonathan Pevsner who appeared as a Leonardo da Vinci expert and researcher on the show Doing DaVinci. While in Pevsner's lab, Bouton developed and released the "Database Referencing of Array Genes ONline" (DRAGON) database and DRAGON View analytics systems in 2002, which remains in wide use currently. During his doctoral research, Bouton also demonstrated that Synaptotagmin I, an important member of the molecular machinery which governs neurotransmitter release at the synaptic terminal, is a molecular target of lead which may in part contribute to the effects of lead poisoning. Bouton also published on the effects of lead on gene expression and the involvement of presenilins in Alzheimer's Disease.
