Speaker: Dr. Jared Johnson, PhD - WCM Affiliate, Meyer Cancer Center — Lewis Cantley Lab (WCMC)
Dr. Jared Johnson is a scientist in Dr. Lewis Cantley’s laboratory. at the Dana-Farber Cancer Institute in Boston. He holds a Ph.D. in biochemistry from Cornell University (Ithaca) where he studied
small G-protein signaling under the mentorship of Richard Cerione. His research focuses on protein kinase substrate specificity and the regulation of phosphoinositide kinases. He has developed a discovery platform that enables researchers to identify cellular targets for serine/threonine and tyrosine kinases, which can decipher their use in signaling pathways from phosphoproteomics data. In this webinar, he will discuss how protein phosphorylation influence cellular signaling pathways.
