    Collapse overview
    Jonathan Scholey moved his research laboratory from the Division of Molecular and Cell Biology at the National Jewish Hospital and Research Center in Denver, Colorado to join the faculty of the Departments of Zoology and Molecular and Cellular Biology at UC Davis in 1989. His research at UC Davis was focused on the CELL BIOLOGY OF MOTORS INVOLVED IN THE MECHANISMS OF MITOSIS AND CILIOGENESIS. He also enjoyed teaching various classes in Biochemistry (BIS102, MCB221D); Biophysics (MCB 143); Cell Biology (BIS104, MCB142, MCB110V, MCB212); and Molecular Biology (BIS1A). He retired on his 60th birthday on 03/07/2015.
