Biography

John Torday is the Director of the Perinatal Research Training Program and of the Henry L. Guenther Cell/Molecular Research Laboratory, Harbor-UCLA Medical Center. He received his PhD in experimental medicine from McGill University. He is currently Professor of Pediatrics and Professor of Obstetrics and Gynecology at UCLA. John's current area... read moreof interest is in cell/molecular signaling in lung development and disease, particularly as it relates to lung evolution.
