Scientific career
InstitutionsHarvard Medical School

Ed Harlow (born 1952) is an American molecular biologist.

Harlow received the Ph.D. degree from the Imperial Cancer Research Fund Laboratories in London.

Harlow is professor of Biological Chemistry and Molecular Pharmacology at Harvard Medical School.

He has been associate director of the Dana–Farber Cancer Institute as well as research director of the Massachusetts General Hospital Cancer Center and the National Cancer Institute.

From 2009 to 2011 he was Chief Scientific Officer at Constellation Pharmaceuticals.

Among Harlow's discoveries was the demonstration that the retinoblastoma protein interacts with viral transforming proteins, thereby linking tumor viruses with the cell cycle. He is also the author, with David Lane, of "Using antibodies: a laboratory manual." (1999).[1]

Dr. Harlow has trained scientists in the field of molecular biology and oncology, including Nicholas Dyson (Professor at Harvard Medical School and Scientific Director of the Massachusetts General Hospital Cancer Center), Jacqueline Lees (Professor of Biology at MIT and associate director of the Koch Institute), Joshua LaBaer (Virginia G. Piper Chair in Personalized Medicine at Arizona State University and Director of the Biodesign Institute), Matthew Meyerson (Professor of Pathology at the Dana–Farber Cancer Institute and Harvard Medical School and Senior Associate Member of the Broad Institute), Li-Huei Tsai (Picower Professor of Neuroscience at MIT and Director of the Picower Center for Learning and Memory), and Marc Vidal (Director of the Center for Cancer Systems Biology at the Dana–Farber Cancer Institute).
