Jeremy Thorner

Jeremy Thorner is a Distinguished Professor at the University of California, Berkeley, in the Department of BIO. His research focuses on transmembrane and intracellular signal transduction mechanisms, particularly how extracellular stimuli regulate cell growth, division, morphology, and gene expression at the biochemical level. Thorner's work includes studies on protein kinases, septins, peptide hormone receptors, and MAPK cascades. He has contributed significantly to understanding the roles of these mechanisms in cellular processes such as lipid homeostasis, cell cycle control, and signal transduction. His research has been published in numerous scientific journals, and he maintains an active profile page detailing his work and publications.

Jeremy W. Thorner is a Professor Emeritus of Biochemistry, Biophysics, and Structural Biology at UC Berkeley, known for his research on biological signal transduction mechanisms. His work focuses on understanding how cells communicate through signaling pathways, particularly in the context of yeast. Thorner's research has explored the function and regulation of MAPK signaling pathways, G protein signaling, and the role of enzymes in prohormone processing. His studies have also examined the molecular mechanisms of protein export and the regulation of protein kinase C. Through these investigations, Thorner has contributed significantly to the understanding of cellular communication and its implications in both yeast and human systems.
