Paul Lieberman Greer

Paul Lieberman Greer is an Associate Professor in the Program in Molecular Medicine at UMass Chan Medical School. He holds additional appointments in the NeuroNexus Institute, Program in Microbial Dynamics, Interdisciplinary Graduate Program, and Neuroscience. His educational background includes a BA in Biochemical Sciences from Harvard College and a PhD in Biological Sciences from Harvard University.

Dr. Greer's research program spans several interconnected domains:

• Neuroscience: Focused on olfactory system organization, sensory neuron function, and neural circuit development
• Cancer Biology: Investigating metabolic reprogramming, selenium detoxification, and non-canonical odorant receptors in oncogenesis
• Molecular Mechanisms: Exploring gene regulation, protein ubiquitination, and stress response pathways
• Disease Models: Developing therapeutic approaches for neurodegenerative conditions including ALS and Huntington's disease

His publication record demonstrates consistent contributions to understanding sensory biology, with recent work expanding into cancer metabolism and neurodegeneration. Technological approaches include spatial transcriptomics, RNA interference, and molecular phenotyping across model systems.

Dr. Greer maintains active research collaborations through the NeuroNexus Institute and contributes to graduate education through the Morningside Graduate School of Biomedical Sciences. His work has been recognized through multiple high-impact publications and citations across disciplines.
