I like the level of detail, modularity, resources and questions, and supplementary materials. I think the students like the clarity that the book provides. It is taught on a good level for undergraduates, especially those interested in medicine (teaching to the level of detail in the MCATs is always a good idea in my course). -Nathan Jebbett, University of Vermont I have not been able to find any other textbook that provides the key essential information related to this complex scientific area with the simplicity and depth provided in this textbook. -German Rosas-Acosta, The University of Texas at El Paso This textbook is not too advanced for the medical students. Other textbooks (such as The Cell by Alberts) are more appropriate for PhD-level students with more details, but The Cell is a good, solid textbook for students in healthcare professions, with the 'right' amount of details. -Nancy Bae, Midwestern University A formidable text on the molecular aspects of biology, biochemistry, cell function and regulation. -Floyd C. Knoop, Creighton University

Author Information

Geoffrey M. Cooper is Professor Emeritus of Biology at Boston University. Receiving a Ph.D. in Biochemistry from the University of Miami in 1973, he pursued postdoctoral work with Howard Temin at the University of Wisconsin, where he developed gene transfer assays to characterize the proviral DNAs of Rous sarcoma virus and related retroviruses. He then joined the faculty of Dana-Farber Cancer Institute and Harvard Medical School in 1975, where he pioneered the discovery of oncogenes in human cancers. Since moving to Boston University in 1998, he has served as Chair of Biology and Associate Dean of the Faculty for Natural Sciences, as well as teaching undergraduate cell biology and continuing his research on the roles of oncogenes in the signaling pathways that regulate cell proliferation and programmed cell death. He has authored over 100 research papers, two textbooks on cancer and an award-winning novel, The Prize, dealing with fraud in medical research.
