Geoffrey M. Cooper

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Geoffrey M. Cooper is a chairman and professor of biology at Boston University. He earned his Ph.D. at the University of Miami in 1973 working with nobel laureate Howard Temin. His work includes cellular growth control, cancer, and signal transduction. More specifically, he focuses on "the roles of proto-oncogene proteins as elements of signal transduction pathways that control proliferation, differentiation, and survival of mammalian cells."[1] He is also the author of the popular textbook "The Cell".
