Dr. Melissa Harrison

Melissa Harrison, PhD, is a molecular biologist at the University of Wisconsin-Madison, and she studies how human cells turn particular genes on and off, developing from a single cell into a full-grown person. She uses the fruit fly as an easy, inexpensive model. Her latest research with UW colleague Peter Lewis, PhD, uncovered a protein that plays a role in a pediatric cancer called diffuse midline glioma.
