Cooper earned his Ph.D. at the University of Miami in 1973 and was a postdoctoral fellow with nobel laureate Howard Temin. His work includes cellular growth control, cancer, and signal transduction. More specifically, he focuses on "the roles of proto-oncogene proteins as elements of signal transduction pathways that control proliferation, differentiation, and survival of mammalian cells."[1] He is also the author of the textbook "The Cell".

Cooper’s first novel, a medical thriller titled “The Prize”, was published in January 2018.

gollark: Please support proposal 206.
gollark: I think what they mean is that you could just store a non-naive time as UTC and add the time zone back on display.
gollark: Apparently they use the unofficial API, which I assume is the one the Twitter frontend uses.

gollark: There's a Twitter API but it's awful to get access to.
