About Me
Before coming to the McMahon lab, Ed van Veen earned B.S. degrees in genetics and mathematics at the University of California, Davis, and a Ph.D. in molecular biology at MIT. Ed was a post-doctoral fellow in the McMahon lab at UCSF from 2012-2015 and at the Huntsman Cancer Institute from 2015-2016. In the McMahon lab, Ed worked on molecular characterization of lung cancer using genetically engineered mouse models, and led the production of a new mouse model for studying BRafdriven cancers. Currently, Ed is a Project Scientist at UCLA researching how the chemotherapeutic drug, tamoxifen, causes deleterious side effects. View a full list of Ed’s publications.
