Dr. Scott is also Professor of Developmental Biology, Genetics, and Bioengineering at Stanford University School of Medicine. His doctoral adviser was Mary Lou Pardue at the Massachusetts Institute of Technology. His postdoctoral research on homeotic genes was done with Thomas Kaufman and Barry Polisky at Indiana University. Before moving to Stanford, he was a faculty member and HHMI investigator at the University of Colorado at Boulder. Dr. Scott's honors include American Cancer Society and National Institutes of Health career development awards, the Searle Award, the Passano Foundation Young Investigator Award, presidency of the Society for Developmental Biology, election to the American Academy of Arts and Sciences and the National Academy of Sciences, and the Edwin G. Conklin Medal from the Society for Developmental Biology. He was recently elected to the Institute of Medicine of the National Academies.
RESEARCH ABSTRACT SUMMARY:
Matthew Scott is investigating how embryonic and later development is governed by proteins that control gene activity and signaling processes. He is exploring how defects in the regulators of development, or in related proteins, lead to birth defects, cancer, and neurodegenerative disease.
