David Morgan is a Professor in the Departments of Physiology and Biochemistry & Biophysics at the University of California, San Francisco (UCSF). He received an undergraduate degree in animal physiology from the University of Calgary in 1980, followed in 1986 by a PhD from UCSF, with Richard Roth.
Following postdoctoral studies with William Rutter and Harold Varmus at UCSF, he started his own laboratory there in 1990. His research interests are centered on the biochemical mechanisms and regulatory circuits that govern cell-cycle progression.
