James L. Maller, Ph.D.

James L. Maller

Dr Maller is Professor of Pharmacology at the University of Colorado School of Medicine, Aurora. He received his B.S. degree in biochemistry from Cornell University and his Ph.D. degree in molecular biology from the University of California, Berkeley, where he worked with John Gerhart. He then carried out postdoctoral studies with Edwin Krebs at both the University of California, Davis, and the University of Washington, Seattle, before moving to Colorado.



RESEARCH ABSTRACT SUMMARY:

James Maller studies the molecular regulation of checkpoints in the cell cycle that control entry into or exit from mitosis. Of particular interest is how checkpoints control the activity of protein kinases and protein phosphatases that underlie cell cycle progression and the etiology of cancer.
