Dr. Koshland is also Senior Staff Member in the Department of Embryology at the Carnegie Institution of Washington, Baltimore; Adjunct Professor of Biology at the Johns Hopkins University; and Adjunct Professor of Molecular Biology and Genetics at the Johns Hopkins University School of Medicine. He earned his B.A. degree in chemistry from Haverford College and his Ph.D. degree in microbiology with David Botstein at the Massachusetts Institute of Technology, where he studied the secretion of λ-lactamase in Salmonella typhimurium. Postdoctoral work was done with Leland Hartwell at the University of Washington, Seattle, where he studied yeast chromosome segregation in vivo, and with Marc Kirschner at the University of California, San Francisco, where he studied vertebrate kinetochore function in vitro. Dr. Koshland was recently elected to the American Academy of Arts and Sciences and the American Association for the Advancement of Science.
RESEARCH ABSTRACT SUMMARY:
Douglas Koshland hopes to elucidate the underlying molecular mechanisms that modulate genome integrity in the context of speciation and cancer progression and that allow cellular survival in response to extreme desiccation.
