Dr. Frank McKeon, Professor of Cell Biology at Harvard University, is an internationally recognized authority and pioneer in the fields of cell biology, signal transduction, and p53-related genes. He has discovered fundamental mechanisms underlying T cell activation, chromosome segregation, and stem cell regeneration. The p63 gene was discovered in his laboratory as was the function of this gene in stem cells of the prostate, breast, and epidermis. In addition, he has demonstrated the value of p63 in the diagnosis of cancers of the prostate and breast and produced the monoclonal antibodies to p63 that are in world-wide use for cancer detection and stem cell analysis. Dr. McKeon obtained his B.S. in Biology at Pomona College (1979) and his Ph.D. in biochemistry and biophysics from the University of California, San Francisco (1984). [ Read more ]
