معرفی
Steven McMahon is a Professor and Chair of the Department of Biochemistry & Molecular Biology at Thomas Jefferson University. He also serves as Senior Associate Dean for Basic Science Research at Sidney Kimmel Medical College and Senior Associate Provost for Programmatic Science. His research focuses on transcriptional deregulation in cancer, particularly MYC and p53 pathways.
- PhD in Immunology, University of Pennsylvania
- MS in Physiology, Temple University
- BS in Biology, Albright College
Research Interests: Dr. McMahon's work investigates how mutations in transcription factors like MYC and p53 alter cellular processes in cancer. Specific projects include mitochondrial transcriptional regulation, post-translational modifications of tumor suppressors, and genetic lesions in coactivator complexes. His findings highlight novel therapeutic targets in transcriptional networks.
