Gerard Ian Evan FRS, FMedSci (born 17 August 1955) is a British biologist and Sir William Dunn Professor of Biochemistry at the University of Cambridge.[10][15]

Education

Evan was educated at St Peter's College, Oxford and King’s College, Cambridge, where he was awarded his PhD in 1982 for research using Monoclonal antibodies.[1][16]

Research

Evan's does research to the determine the molecular basis of cancer.[17][18][13][19][20][21][22][23]

Career

Prior to Cambridge, Evan was Gerson & Barbara Bass Bakar Distinguished Professor of Cancer Biology, at University of California, San Francisco. Evan is also a member of the Advisory Board, of Ensemble Therapeutics Corporation[24][25] and a founding editor of the journal Disease Models & Mechanisms.[6]
