WASHINGTON UNIVERSITY IN ST LOUIS Record Vol. 19 No. 28 April 20, 1995 Former Sen. Danforth to give University's 134th Commencement address

Former U.S. Sen. John C. Danforth, R-Mo., will deliver Washington University's 134th Commencement address on May 19. Commencement begins at 8:30 a.m. with the traditional academic procession into Brookings Quadrangle on campus. Danforth will receive an honorary doctor of laws during the ceremony. "We are pleased to announce that Washington University's 1995 Com- mencement speaker will be Sen. John Danforth," said Burton M. Wheeler, chair of | the Commence- ment Committee.

Study of blood vessel growth could result in anti-cancer drugs Researchers at the School of Medi- cine have received a five-year $1.35 million grant from the National Cancer Institute to study blood vessel formation. The research could provide leads to new anti-cancer drugs that would kill tumors by depriving them of their blood supply. Rich networks of blood vessels nourish tumors and allow malignant cells to escape to other parts of the body. Unwanted growth of vessels also occurs in arthritis, where capillaries grow into a joint, and in diabetic retinopathy, where blood vessels at the back of the eye grow rampant over the retina. "There is now a great deal of interest in finding substances that inhibit blood vessel formation," said principal investi- gator William A. Frazier III, Ph.D., professor of biochemistry and molecular biophysics and of cell biology and physi- ology.
