Suzanne Cory’S Passion in Every Sense NEWS Biomedical research has been Suzanne Cory’s passion in every sense. She has worked to decode the genetic mysteries of the immune system and cancer, has rallied her country to invest in its scientific future, and is married to a fellow scientist from her post-doctoral years. Nature Medicine talked to the Director of the Walter and Eliza Hall Institute in Melbourne to find out why her love affair with science hasn’t waned in intensity over four decades.

    Fas Ligand, Bcl-2, Granulocyte Colony-Stimulating Factor, and p38 Mitogen-activated Protein Kinase: Regulators of Distinct Cell Death and Survival Pathways in Granulocytes By Andreas Villunger,* Lorraine A. O’Reilly,* Nils Holler,‡ Jerry Adams,* and Andreas Strasser* From *The Walter and Eliza Hall Institute, Melbourne, Victoria 3050, Australia; and the ‡Institute of Biochemistry, University of Lausanne, Epalinges CH-1066, Switzerland Abstract The short life span of granulocytes, which limits many inflammatory responses, is thought to be influenced by the Bcl-2 protein family, death receptors such as CD95 (Fas/APO-1), stress-acti- vated protein kinases such as p38 mitogen-activated protein kinase (MAPK), and proinflamma- tory cytokines like granulocyte colony-stimulating factor (G-CSF). To clarify the roles of these various regulators in granulocyte survival, we have investigated the spontaneous apoptosis of granulocytes in culture and that induced by Fas ligand or chemotherapeutic drugs, using cells from normal, CD95-deficient lpr, or vav-bcl-2 transgenic mice. CD95-induced apoptosis, which required receptor aggregation by recombinant Fas ligand or the membrane-bound ligand, was unaffected by G-CSF treatment or Bcl-2 overexpression. Conversely, spontaneous and drug-induced apoptosis occurred normally in lpr granulocytes but were suppressed by G-CSF treatment or Bcl-2 overexpression. Although activation of p38 MAPK has been implicated in granulocyte death, their apoptosis actually was markedly accelerated by specific inhibitors of this kinase. These results suggest that G-CSF promotes granulocyte survival largely through the Bcl-2–controlled pathway, whereas CD95 regulates a distinct pathway to apoptosis that is not required for either their spontaneous or drug-induced death.

  • To Professor Suzanne Cory AC
    Citation for the Award of the Doctor of Laws (Honoris Causa) to Professor Suzanne Cory AC When Suzanne Cory graduated from the Science Faculty at the University of Melbourne molecular biology was in its infancy. In her enthusiasm for this new science she pursued a PhD in Cambridge at the Medical Research Council’s famed Laboratory of Molecular Biology. Immersed in a culture of discovery, her pioneering PhD studies determined the sequence of a transfer RNA, utilising new technology developed by Fred Sanger, one of the three Nobel Laureates in the institute. After three years’ post‐doctoral work at the University of Geneva, Suzanne Cory returned to Australia with her husband, Jerry Adams, to the Walter and Eliza Hall Institute of Medical Research where they helped to introduce gene‐cloning technology to Australia. Since then, her long association with the Institute, including thirteen years as Director, and with the University of Melbourne, has been instrumental in building the international reputation of both institutions and the strength of the Parkville biomedical research network. Suzanne Cory has made major contributions to advancing the science of immunology, cancer and genetics, in a lifelong dynamic research partnership with Adams. Her work is published widely and cited frequently. The positions held by the many PhD candidates and Post‐Doctoral Fellows she has supervised demonstrate her intergenerational influence in developing scientific leaders for the future. The list of accolades and awards Suzanne Cory has received in recognition of her contributions to science is long and distinguished. She was elected a Fellow of the Australian Academy of Science in 1986 and since has been elected to numerous sister organisations across the globe.

  • A Null C-Myc Mutation Causes Lethality Before 10.5 Days of Gestation in Homozygotes and Reduced Fertility in Heterozygous Female Mice
    Downloaded from genesdev.cshlp.org on October 6, 2021 - Published by Cold Spring Harbor Laboratory Press A null c-myc mutation causes lethality before 10.5 days of gestation in homozygotes and reduced fertility in heterozygous female mice Ann C. Davis, 1 Marie Wims, 1 Gerald D. Spotts, 2 Stephen R. Hann, 2 and Allan Bradley 1 tlnstitute for Molecular Genetics, Baylor College of Medicine, Houston, Texas 77030 USA; ~Department of Cell Biology, Vanderbilt University, School of Medicine, Nashville, Tennessee 37232-2175 USA To directly assess c-myc function in cellular proliferation, differentiation, and embryogenesis, we have used homologous recombination in embryonic stem cells to generate both heterozygous and homozygous c-myc mutant ES cell lines. The mutation is a null allele at the protein level. Mouse chimeras from seven heterozygous cell lines transmitted the mutant allele to their offspring. The analysis of embryos from two clones has shown that the mutation is lethal in homozygotes between 9.5 and 10.5 days of gestation. The embryos are generally smaller and retarded in development compared with their littermates. Pathologic abnormalities include the heart, pericardium, neural tube, and delay or failure in turning of the embryo. Heterozygous females have reduced fertility owing to embryonic resorption before 9.5 days of gestation in 14% of implanted embryos, c-Myc protein is necessary for embryonic survival beyond 10.5 days of gestation; however, it appears to be dispensable for cell division both in ES cell lines and in the the embryo before that time. [Key Words: c-myc; gene targeting; null mutation~ embryonic lethal] Received November 25, 1992; revised version accepted January 25, 1993.

  • 'What's a Nice Girl Like You Doing with a Nobel Prize?' Elizabeth Blackburn, 'Australia's' First Woman Nobel Laureat
    ‘What’s a Nice Girl like you Doing with a Nobel Prize?’ Elizabeth Blackburn, ‘Australia’s’ First Woman Nobel Laureate and Women’s Scientific Leadership Jane Carey Centre for Women’s Studies and Gender Research/Monash Indigenous Centre Monash University, Clayton VIC 3800 [email protected] Abstract: In 2009 Elizabeth Blackburn (along with two of her American colleagues) won the Nobel Prize for Physiology or Medicine, confirming her position as a global scientific leader. She was immediately celebrated as Australia’s first woman Nobel laureate. However, although 2009 was a ‘bumper’ year for women Nobel laureates, with five winners in total, the media coverage soon became highly negative and discouraging. Much discussion focused not on Blackburn’s scientific work but on her gender – the difficulties it was assumed she must have faced individually as a woman scientist, and her wider leadership role in encouraging and supporting other women to overcome these obstacles. In this chapter I suggest the continuing highly negative ways the possibilities for women’s participation and leadership in science are discussed are counterproductive. Journalistic, policy and scholarly discussions of the ‘problem’ of women in science misconstrue the extent of women’s participation in the field and the nature of their experiences. In all these spheres, science continues to be understood and represented as an unhappy place for women to be. This misrepresentation, I argue, undercuts the leadership roles women scientists are seeking. Keywords: Elizabeth Blackburn, women scientists, Australian science, gender and science, Nobel Prize On 5 October 2009 molecular biologist Elizabeth Blackburn received a phone call from Geneva with the news that she, along with her American colleagues Carol Greider and Jack W.
