  • Stewardship Report
    Stewardship Report Presented to: The H Foundation December 2015 Our Appreciation Dear Friends of The H Foundation: The Robert H. Lurie Comprehensive Cancer Center of Northwestern University is deeply grateful for The H Foundation’s extraordinary support over the past 15 years. Since 2002, The H Foundation has raised and donated more than $3 million to advance research at the Lurie Cancer Center. In turn, the Lurie Cancer Center has been able to leverage these generous philanthropic funds into more than $50 million in private and government grants for cancer research projects that bridge basic science and clinical care. I am delighted to share this report featuring the faculty members who have received Bridge Awards, Pilot Awards, and other support during 2014-2015. Your giving continues to impact the investigations of our highly dedicated scientists as they work together to find a cure for cancer. Over the years, The H Foundation’s partnership has helped us to stimulate and enable creative, novel research that has led to fundamental new discoveries, accelerating progress towards achieving new diagnostics and treatments for cancer. At the Lurie Cancer Center, we are developing programs that bridge basic science and clinical care and that will establish Chicago as a global leader in the delivery of personalized cancer treatment. Established in 1974, the Lurie Cancer Center is recognized as one of just 45 National Cancer Institute (NCI)-designated “comprehensive” cancer centers in the country for its dedication to the highest standards of cancer research, patient care, education, and community outreach. Our center is a founding member of the National Comprehensive Cancer Network and the Big Ten Cancer Research Consortium.

  • President's Message
    Winter Issue 2013–2014 SOT News President’s Message I’m starting this President’s message with a quiz!!! It’s just one question, but it’s important that everyone knows the answer. The question is: What do prenatal programming and toxicity, perfluorinalkyl acids ,and human relevance of hemangiosarcomas in rodents have in common? [the answer appears at the end of this message]. While you ponder the answer to that question, I want to reflect on events of this fall and focus on several activities of the Society during recent times of uncertainty. The shutdown of the US government had some effect on nearly all of us. Important meetings, study sections, and day-to- day professional discussion and dialog were all furloughed during this time. However, the most significant impact was on our members who are government employees, and we can only hope that these matters are completely behind us. Unfortunately, there were significant deadlines for SOT matters scheduled during this time, particularly for abstract submissions and award President nominations. Lois D. Lehman- McKeeman I want to specifically acknowledge the work of the Scientific Program and Awards Committees for showing remarkable flexibility in modifying deadlines to accommodate member needs. As a quick review, the Awards committee moved deadlines for nominations to the last possible minute—giving them only about 1 week to review all nominations prior to meeting to select award winners. The prestigious Society awards are central to celebrating member accomplishments, and the work of this committee, against their own time limitations, underscores their commitment to this important activity.

  • An Interview with John Gurdon Aidan Maartens*,‡
    © 2017. Published by The Company of Biologists Ltd | Development (2017) 144, 1581-1583 doi:10.1242/dev.152058 SPOTLIGHT An interview with John Gurdon Aidan Maartens*,‡ John Gurdon is a Distinguished Group Leader in the Wellcome Trust/ Cancer Research UK Gurdon Institute and Professor Emeritus in the Department of Zoology at the University of Cambridge. In 2012, he was awarded the Nobel Prize in Physiology or Medicine jointly with Shinya Yamanaka for work on the reprogramming of mature cells to pluripotency, and his lab continues to investigate the molecular mechanisms of nuclear reprogramming by oocytes and eggs. We met John in his Cambridge office to discuss his career and hear his thoughts on the past, present and future of reprogramming. Your first paper was published in 1954 and concerned not embryology but entomology. How did that come about? Well, that early paper was published in the Entomologist’s Monthly Magazine. Throughout my early life, I really was interested in insects, and used to collect butterflies and moths. When I was an undergraduate I liked to take time off and go out to Wytham Woods near Oxford to see what I could find. So I went out one cold spring day and there were no butterflies about, nor any moths, but, out of nowhere, there was a fly – I caught it, put it in my bottle, and had a look at it. The first thing that was obvious was that it wasn’t a fly, it was a hymenopteran, but when I tried to identify it I simply could cells in the body have the same genes.
