Nathanael S. Gray is a professor of biological chemistry and molecular pharmacology at Harvard Medical School and professor of cancer biology at Dana-Farber Cancer Institute. His work focuses on synthetic chemistry and novel small molecule inhibitors.
Gray grew up in Zambia, Yemen, India and Sudan and moved to California for high school.[1] Nathanael Gray received his BS and PhD in organic chemistry from UC Berkeley in 1999 where he discovered . After graduating, he worked at the Genomics Institute of the Novartis Research Foundation in San Diego, and after working as a staff scientist and group leader of kinase inhibitor chemistry, he was named director of biological chemistry in 2001. He moved to Harvard Medical School and the Dana-Farber Cancer Institute in 2006.[2] Among the discoveries his lab has made are , an ATP-competitive mTOR inhibitor, , an inhibitor of ERK5, and inhibitors of EGFR, mTor, Bcr-Abl, Mps1, Erk5, b-Raf and Ephrin kinases.[3]
