Carlo Maley

Carlo Maley studied computer science and psychology at Oberlin College. He then went to the University of Oxford on a Marshall Scholarship where he received a M.Sc. in evolutionary biology. He returned to the states to do a Ph.D. at MIT in computer science (really, computational biology). As a postdoc at the University of New Mexico, and later at the Fred Hutchinson Cancer Research Center he began studying the evolution of cells in cancers. Carlo is now an assistant professor at the Wistar Institute in Philadelphia where his lab uses both experimental (“wet lab”) and computational (“dry lab”) techniques to understand and prevent both carcinogenesis and therapeutic resistance.
