Faculty Recruitments for MCB

The Department of Molecular and Cell Biology (MCB) seeks applications for one faculty position. The position will be a 9-month academic year appointment. We seek candidates with Ph.D. and/or M.D. degrees who have demonstrated excellence, originality and productivity in research. Candidates at both the junior (non-tenured) and senior (tenured) faculty level will be considered. In addition to evidence of a strong research program, candidates are expected to have an interest in undergraduate and graduate teaching.

Two Nobel Prize recipients have UC Berkeley ties

The bulk of the work for which Elizabeth Blackburn, Carol Greider and John Szostak won this year's Nobel Prize in Physiology or Medicine took place at the University of California, Berkeley, when Blackburn was a professor of molecular and cell biology and Greider was her graduate student.

The Immortality Enzyme

Kathleen Collins, a professor in the Department of Molecular & Cell Biology, has made it her business to understand everything she can about this so-called immortality enzyme. Her discoveries about its regulation, assembly and connections to human disease are leading the way toward methods to regulate its production and perhaps treat disorders such as cancer.
