Dr. James L. Manley received a B.S. from Columbia University, his Ph.D. from Stony Brook/Cold Spring Harbor Labs, and did postdoctoral work at MIT. He has been in the Department of Biological Sciences at Columbia University since 1980, was Chair from 1995-2001 and is currently Julian Clarence Levi Professor of Life Sciences. His research interests center on understanding the mechanisms and regulation of gene expression in animal cells. His work has been supported by many grants, including an NIH MERIT Award, and he has published over 300 research articles on these topics. Dr. Manley has served on numerous editorial boards and review panels. He is a Fellow of the American Academy of Microbiology, American Academy of Arts and Sciences and American Association for the Advancement of Science, and a Member of the National Academy of Sciences.
