Ben Myers, Ph.D.
Principal Investigator
​​email: benjamin (dot) myers (at) hci (dot) utah (dot) edu

Ben grew up in NJ and obtained his A.B. degree in Biochemical Sciences from Harvard University. Afterwards, he promptly abandoned the east coast to pursue his Ph.D. in a sunnier environment with David Julius at the University of California, San Francisco, where he focused on the gating of transient receptor potential ion channels using yeast-based functional selections and electrophysiology. For his postdoctoral fellowship, Ben shifted gears by studying membrane signaling in a different area of biology -- development and cancer signaling. He joined the lab of Philip Beachy at Stanford University, where he studied the mechanism of Hedgehog signaling at the membrane from biochemical and biophysical perspectives.  Ben joined the faculty of the University of Utah in early 2018.

Our lab is growing!
We are actively recruiting talented scientists at all levels to join our new lab. We have many projects available to study developmental and cancer signaling, primary cilia, receptor pharmacology, and the biology of membrane proteins / lipids.

We are committed to providing a safe, fun, and educational grad student rotation experience during the coronavirus pandemic. For more information, click here.
