Hilary Coller is a Professor and Interim Director of the MBI MB-IDP PhD Program at the University of California, Los Angeles. Her research focuses on the molecular basis of quiescence, a temporary, non-dividing state that cells enter under certain conditions. Quiescence is a critical process in preventing unwanted cell division that can lead to tumor formation. Professor Coller investigates the regulation of this state using both in vitro models and mouse models of human diseases. Her work also explores the significance of quiescence in human patients, particularly in understanding chronic wounds and cancer. Professor Coller has contributed to numerous publications addressing cellular metabolism, genome-wide transcript decay rates, and cancer metabolism. Her efforts in the field have led to a greater understanding of how cells can remain dormant and what triggers their return to active division, which is crucial for tissue repair and growth.
