Douglas Green, PhD
Chair of the Department of Immunology
St. Jude Children’s Research Hospital in Memphis, TN, USA
Douglas Green is currently the Chair of the Department of Immunology, St. Jude Children’s Research Hospital in Memphis, TN, where he holds the Peter Doherty Endowed Chair. Doug received his training at Yale University, where he earned a Ph.D. in Biology/Immunology, following which he did postdoctoral training at Yale in the areas of Immunology, Surgery, and Marine Biology. During his first faculty position in the Department of Immunology at the University of Alberta in Edmonton, he became interested in apoptosis. In 1990 Doug moved to the La Jolla Institute for Allergy and Immunology as Member and Head of the Division of Cellular Immunology. In 2005 he took his current position at SJCRH. Doug’s ongoing research focuses the role of mitochondria in apoptosis, caspase activation and function, and the Bcl-2 family proteins. These studies are integrated into a general exploration of the process of apoptosis in transformed cells and lymphocytes, examining events that range from intracellular mechanisms to biological functions at the level of the whole organism. Doug has published over 400 scientific papers and was named “highly cited” by the Institute for Scientific Information (ISI) in 2003.
