Author Information:
JJ Miranda, PhD, grew up in Northern California and attended Lowell High School in San Francisco. He then went on to obtain a BA from Reed College and PhD from Harvard University, both in Biochemistry. Immediately after graduation, he joined UCSF as a Sandler Fellow, a special opportunity that granted principle investigator status and allowed JJ to start his own laboratory. Since then, he has taught as an Assistant Professor in the Department of Cellular and Molecular Pharmacology at the UCSF School of Medicine. Complementing this discovery science approach, the translational medicine aspect of the research program identifies small molecule regulators of viral reactivation as a means to treat cancer.
This represents a past NCCCP hosted CE. We look forward to your participation in our next CE.
