NOTICE: Thursday, Nov. 7, Mark Tumors which have been Biology induced in carrota. Chairman Awarded Cancer Grant

Dr. Gary T. Heberlein, Heberlein examines the associate professor and chairman of the UMSL tumors on several plants in the greenhouse of biology department, has recently been awarded a Stadler Hall. $203,176 three-year grant by the National Cancer Institute (National Institutes of Health) to continue his study of the genetics and bio­ chemistry of crown galt tumor induction. Dr. Heberlein, who has been involved in tumor research for about eight years, said that his study basically deals with the search for genes that would "enable certain bacteria and viruses to convert normal cells to rapidly dividing tumor celts." Part of Dr. Heberlein's research involves using bacterial induced tumors in plants to explore the precise time necessary for a celt to convert to a cancerous state and to examine the biochemical differences between normal cells and tumor cells. Plants are inoculated to determine whether a particular bacteria is capable of producing tumors. Within about a week, a tumor on the plant will have progressed to a visual state. "These tumors can be excised from the plant and grown in sterile tissue culture," Dr. Heberlein said. "The bacterium can be subjected to a variety of treatments to test • the treatments' effect on the bacterium's tumor inducing ability." Dr. Heberlein performs most of his tumor inoculations on trees, flowering plants, species of kalanchoe and bryophyllum, sunflower plants, bean plants, carrots and potatoes. Most of these plants have a high susceptibility for tumor induction and they are relatively easy to obtain, he says. By analyzing the genes responsible for the bacterium's ability to convert normal cells to tumor cells, "we could in time b enhance our ability to prevent tumors," Dr. Heberlein said. Increased knowledge c about the genetic and biochemical mechanisms • by which normal cells are converted to tumor cells lIis essential if man is to fully understand and control tumor growth," he continued. en Through his research,Dr. Heberlein hopes to obtain extensive information about the number of steps involved in tumor initiation and the number and nature of genes involved. This knowledge may facilitate the isolation of tumor inducing principles, thus contributing significantly to an eventual under­ standing of the causes and treatment of tumors.
