Controlling Global Transcriptome Output with MYC, Supercoils, and Topoisomerase
NCI’s Center for Cancer Research (CCR) Grand Rounds Dr. Levens received his M.D. and Ph.D. from the University of Chicago. Subsequently, he completed residency training in anatomic pathology at the Laboratory of Pathology, NCI, where he is now the chief of the Gene Regulation Section. Dr. Levens studies fundamental mechanisms of gene regulation, emphasizing the control of MYC function and expression. He and his team showed that MYC amplifies is a universal amplifier of gene expression. This explains much of MYC physiology and pathology, but also defines the need to control MYC levels precisely in real time. The Leven...

How to Maintain Serum Antibody Titers?
Immunology Interest Group David Allman is an Associate Professor of Pathology and Laboratory Medicine in the Department of Pathology and Laboratory Medicine of the Perelman School of Medicine at the University of Pennsylvania. He described what are now called transitional B cells during his PhD. This work showed that B cell maturation and formation of the B cell repertoire is completed in peripheral lymphoid tissues rather than in the bone marrow. Later, working with Warren Pear, he established roles for Notch in T lineage commitment. Recently he has focused on antibody secreting plasma cells, and has discovered that T-c...
