Kevin Mills

Cancer researcher Kevin Mills (MCDBio’94) was promoted to associate professor at Jackson Laboratory. He studies the fundamental processes relating to the stability of the genome, focusing on understanding the mechanisms that manage genome instability and how the failure of the mechanisms leads to diseases. He is working on “genetic chemotherapy” to develop precise, targeted cancer treatments that induce cancer cell self-destruction. He also is developing new drugs for treating cancers. Kevin lives in Bar Harbor, Maine.
