Professor Cohen worked with Donald Crothers at Yale University on the kinetics of unwinding small DNA, and earned a Ph.D. in biophysical chemistry in 1969. He undertook a two-year NIH-sponsored Postdoctoral Fellowship with the late Max Delbruck at the California Institute of Technology to study the biophysics and photophysiology of the avoidance behavior of Phycomyces blakesleeanus. A faculty member in the Department since 1971, Dr. Cohen has concentrated on the molecular mechanisms involved in the sensory and developmental pathways in Phycomyces. |
