Biography
Dr. Deborah Morrison obtained her Ph.D. from Vanderbilt University School of Medicine. She then began studying signal transduction as a postdoctoral fellow in the laboratories of Dr. Thomas Roberts at Harvard Medical School and Dr. Lewis Williams at the University of California-San Francisco. Dr. Morrison joined the ABL-Basic Research Program in 1990 and became head of the Cellular Growth Mechanisms Section in 1995. From 1996 to 1997, she was on sabbatical in the laboratory of Dr. Gerald Rubin at the University of California-Berkeley. Dr. Morrison joined the NCI Center for Cancer Research in 1999 and became Chief of the Laboratory of Cell and Developmental Signaling in 2006.
