Geoffrey M. Cooper
Geoffrey M. Cooper is professor of biology at Boston University. He served as Chair of the Department of Biology for a number of years, and subsequently as Associate Dean of the Faculty for the natural sciences in the university's College of Arts & Sciences. He earned his Ph.D. at the University of Miami in 1973 and was a postdoctoral fellow 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 textbook "The Cell".
