Peter John Myler is a biochemist, medical researcher and educator. He is professor, principal investigator, and supervisor at the Center for Global Infectious Disease Research in Seattle, Washington.
Education Myler earned both his Bachelor of Science degree and his PhD in biochemistry (in 1982), at the University of Queensland in Australia.
Career In 1993, Myler became an assistant professor in pathobiology at the University of Washington. At the University of Washington's Department of Global Health, he is an affiliate professor, both with Global Health and with Biomedical Informatics and Medical Education.
His research focuses on genome-scale technologies (next-generation sequencing, mRNA profiling and proteomics), bioinformatics and molecular approaches to study gene function and protein structure in infectious disease organisms. His laboratory works to discover novel drug and vaccine strategies against global infectious diseases. Some of his research integrated aspects of molecular biology with epidemiological and clinical concerns, including species of the pathogens Trypanosoma and Leishmania.
