Scott Ness Laboratory
Scott A. Ness received his B.A. in biology at the University of California, San Diego in La Jolla, CA in 1980 and his Ph.D. in biochemistry from the Department of Chemistry and Biochemistry at the University of California, Los Angeles in 1985. He did post-doctoral research at the European Molecular Biology Laboratory in Heidelberg, Germany, in the laboratory of Dr. Thomas Graf, studying oncogenes, transcription and leukemia. Dr. Ness started his own laboratory at Northwestern University in Evanston, IL in 1991 and moved to UNM Health Sciences Center in 1998.
Dr. Ness is a member of AAAS, AACR and has served on numerous grant review study sections for NIH and DOD as well as ACS and other foundations. He is a member and Associate Director of the UNM Cancer Center and supervises all the Shared Resources (core facilities). He is also Director of the Keck-UNM Genomics and Bioinformatics Resource, the microarray and genomics facility. Dr. Ness has been continuously funded by the National Cancer Institute, the American Cancer Society and other agencies for over 20 years and is currently supported by two research grants from the National Cancer Institute.
Information about post-doctoral positions in the Ness lab.
The Ness laboratory studies cancer cell biology, the relationship between oncogenes and transcriptional regulation, hematopoietic stem cells and the control of cell fate. Our work focuses on the c-Myb and v-Myb transcription factors, and regulatory proteins that control their activity. We use diverse techniques and tools, including molecular and cellular biology, biochemistry, genomics and bioinformatics.
