Dr. Scott E. Kern is a molecular biologist who has focused his research
interests on the genetic changes which cause pancreatic cancer and account
for its behavior. He has appointments in the clinical departments of
Oncology and Pathology of the Johns Hopkins Medical School, as well as the
basic science programs in Human Genetics and in Cellular & Molecular
Medicine. Having trained originally in Ann Arbor, he boasts of
occasionally having seen Michigan beat a west coast team. His
postdoctoral studies at Hopkins concerned p53, the most frequently mutated
gene in human cancer, and he discovered the specific DNA-binding function
which is inhibited by the mutations in tumors.
