Molecular Medicine in the War on Cancer: Success or Failure?
Office of NIH History Lecture Series
A virologist is among the luckiest of biologists because he can see into his chosen pet down to the details of all of its molecules. ” --David Baltimore, 1975. Accepting his Nobel Prize for his part in the identification of reverse transcriptase, David Baltimore reflected on the “ luck ” that virologists enjoyed in their ability to see into problems with molecular precision. Although this vision seems inspiring and compelling today, Baltimore spoke at a time of fierce debate among biologists, legislators, and clinicians as to what, if anything, this molecular approach to disease o...

Elucidation and Pharmacological Targeting of Cellular Dependencies at the Single Cell Level
Speaker Andrea Califano, Ph.D, is a pioneer in the field of systems biology and founding chair of the Department of Systems Biology at Columbia University Irving Medical Center. A physicist by training, Dr. Califano has taken innovative, systematic approaches to identify the molecular factors that lead to cancer progression and to the emergence of drug resistance at the single-cell level. Directing the conversation about cancer research away from focusing solely on gene mutations, Dr. Califano examines the complex and tumor-specific molecular interaction networks that determine cancer cell behavior. Using information theor...

Artificial intelligence can boost breast cancer diagnoses.
Ultrasound breast exams, while an important tool, have caused numerous false breast cancer diagnoses. A team of NSF-funded researchers have developed an AI computer program trained to see distinctive patterns in thousands of ultrasound breast images, helping physicians to diagnose breast cancer ...This is an NSF Multimedia Gallery item.

The History of Cancer Virus Research
This is a continuation of the Office of NIH History Lecture Series.
Speaker Robin Wolfe Scheffler, Associate Professor in the Science, Technology, and Society Program, is an historian of the modern biological and biomedical sciences and their intersections with developments in American history. He is currently working on a project that follows the history of cancer virus research in the twentieth century from legislature to laboratory, documenting its origins and impact on the modern biological sciences. His other projects include the history of the biotechnology industry and a chemical biography of dioxins. The common g...

Women Leaders in Academic Research: Do What You Love, Love What You Do: An Anthology of Perspectives on Choosing the Right Path for YOU
Life is all about choices. In order to discover the things we love and subsequently pursue them, we are faced with myriad decisions that relate to our own unique circumstances in life. These choices - and the circumstances underscoring them - often go unspoken or under-appreciated when we consider how our peers, mentors, advocates, and role models got to where they are. This talk will unveil key aspects of my personal journey in doing what I love and loving what I do as a biomedical engineer and translationally-minded cancer researcher - which most recently led me back to my alma mater as one of the youngest faculty ever h...

David Derse Memorial Lecture and Award: Immune responses to SARS-CoV-2
This Tenth Annual event honors the outstanding research accomplishments of David Derse, Ph.D., a Principal Investigator in the Center for Cancer Research's HIV Dynamics and Replication Program (HIV DRP).
Dr. Derse was Head of the Retrovirus Gene Expression Section in the HIV DRP. During his 25 years at the National Cancer Institute, he investigated the molecular mechanisms of retrovirus infection and replication, concentrating most recently on the human viruses HIV-1 and HTLV-1. In 2007, Dr. Derse and his research team discovered how HTLV-1 evades the body's natural defenses to fight off infection, a finding that may event...
