Dr. Emr is also Professor of Cellular and Molecular Medicine at the University of California, San Diego, School of Medicine. As a graduate student at Harvard Medical School, he identified and characterized the first secretion-defective signal sequence mutants and the first component of the bacterial protein secretion apparatus. Dr. Emr's postdoctoral work on protein secretion in yeast was done at the University of California, Berkeley. He was a member of the faculty at the California Institute of Technology before moving to UCSD. Among his honors are a Searle Scholar Award and a National Science Foundation Presidential Young Investigator Award. Dr. Emr is a fellow of the American Academy of Microbiology, the American Association for the Advancement of Science, and the American Academy of Arts and Sciences. He received the Hansen Prize for his contributions to the elucidation of protein-sorting and -transport pathways in yeast and was recently elected to the National Academy of Sciences.
RESEARCH ABSTRACT SUMMARY:
Scott Emr's lab studies the regulation of cell signaling and membrane trafficking pathways by phosphoinositide kinases, protein kinases, selective ubiquitin modifications, and vesicle-mediated transport reactions.
