Careers

Maley earned a B.A. in computer science and psychology, graduated summa cum laude from Oberlin College in 1991. He was a Bachelor of Marshall at Oxford University, earning his M.Sc. in 1993 in zoology, working with W. D. Hamilton. He then went on to MIT to earn his Ph.D. in computer science in 1998, working with Rodney Brooks and Michael J. Donoghue (then at Harvard). As a postdoc with Stephanie Forrest, Maley started working on cancer and soon after joining Brian J. Reid's lab at the Fred Hutchinson Cancer Research Center. Then he held faculty positions at the Wistar Institute and the University of California San Francisco before moving to Arizona State University.

Maley's work on the evolutionary dynamics underlying the development of cancer and vulnerability has contributed to the field of evolution and cancer and the understanding of somatic evolution. Maley is known for his work on the evolutionary dynamics underlying tumor development and the enigma of large and long-lived organisms suppressing cancer, also known as Peto's Paradox. He pioneered the use of diversity measures from ecology to profile tumors, so as to predict which benign tumors are likely to become cancerous, and to predict the survival of cancer patients. Maley has helped bring together the cancer biology community and evolutionary biology community through the Evolution and Cancer Center activities at UCSF and recently the International Society for Evolution, Ecology and Cancer, including planning and organizing the International Biannual Evolution and Cancer. Conference.
