Gregory S. Ducker, Ph.D.
Assistant Professor
Greg grew up in Saint Paul, Minnesota. He attended college nearby at Carleton College in Northfield, Minnesota where he obtained his B.A. in Chemistry in 2006. After a year working in a molecular diagnostics laboratory and learning about how most oncogenes were signaling proteins called kinases, he moved to California to pursue a Ph.D. with Kevan Shokat at the University of California, Berkeley. At Cal, Greg mostly studied how to block the activity of a master regulator of metabolism kinase, mTOR. His interest in metabolism piqued, Greg dove all-in when he started his postdoctoral work in cancer metabolism with Josh Rabinowitz at Princeton University. As an American Cancer Society fellow, Greg studied one-carbon and amino acid metabolism in cancer. He started his independent career as an Assistant Professor of Biochemistry at the University of Utah in September of 2018. New to the mountain west, Greg is excited about the hiking and skiing options that start right outside the university.
