Roger J. Davis is a molecular biologist. He is the H. Arthur Smith Chair in Cancer Research at the University of Massachusetts Medical School. Davis is known for his research on signaling mechanisms related to the body's response to stress. His laboratory identified the human cJun NH2-terminal kinase (JNK) pathway, which mediates stress responses. His research has contributed to understanding mechanisms involved in normal physiology and various diseases, including inflammation, diabetes, cancer, and neurodegeneration. He is an elected member of the National Academy of Medicine.
