Biographical Information
Moira Cockell trained as a biologist at the University of Edinburgh and the Medical
Research Council Laboratory of Molecular Biology (LMB) in Cambridge, England. She
obtained a Ph.D in 1990 for studies carried out jointly in Lausanne’s Swiss Institute for
Experimental Cancer Research (ISREC) and the LMB. Since then she has co-authored
numerous research articles and reviews and contributed to the understanding of several
fundamental cellular regulatory mechanisms. For the last two years she has been collaborating
with basic scientists, bioinformaticians and clinicians to integrate knowledge of a
harmless laboratory model yeast into the limited medical armory available to combat its
evolutionary cousin, a major human pathogen. She is also a freelance scientific editor. |
