Human Oncogenic Viruses: Nature, Discovery, and Running Around in Circles
Wednesday Afternoon Lecture Series
Annual George Khoury Lecture
Dr. Chang is Distinguished Professor of Pathology in the Cancer Virology Program, University of Pittsburgh Cancer Institute. Her laboratory performs basic and applied research on viral oncogenesis with efforts focused in three areas: Merkel cell carcinoma and Merkel cell polyomavirus, the latter of which she discovered; Kaposi ’ s sarcoma-associated herpesvirus, the most common AIDS-associated malignancy; and new pathogen discovery.
Seven viruses collectively comprise an important cause of cancer, particularly in less-developed countries and under conditions...

Thinking about cancer as an infectious disease
NIH Director's Wednesday Afternoon Lecture Series
Infection causes 1 in 5 cancers worldwide. Many tumor suppressors, such as p53, have dual functions to prevent tumor cell growth and to inhibit viral replication. These molecules may have evolved from a primordial unicellular eukaryotic antiviral defense system that inhibited DNA synthesis and initiated programmed cell death in response to viral infection. Two cancer viruses found by our lab, Kaposi ’ s sarcoma herpesvirus and Merkel cell polyomavirus, provide examples of how virus targeting in a cell can be used to understand important circuits controlling tumor cell gro...

Cancer Immunotherapy by Targeting Unique Cancer Mutations
Immunology Interest Group
Dr. Steve Rosenberg received his B.A. and M.D. degrees at Johns Hopkins University and a Ph.D. in Biophysics at Harvard University. After completing his residency training in surgery in 1974 at the Peter Bent Brigham Hospital in Boston, Massachusetts, Dr. Rosenberg became the Chief of Surgery at the NCI, NIH, a position he has held to the present time. Dr. Rosenberg has pioneered the development of effective immunotherapies and gene therapies for patients with advanced cancers. His studies of the adoptive transfer of genetically modified lymphocytes have resulted in the regression of metastatic c...
