SHAPING THE FUTURE OF CANCER RESEARCH AT MIT
C’est ce thème que nous aurons l’occasion d’échanger en direct avec :
Tyler JACKS
Director, Center for Cancer Research, Massachusetts Institute of Technology
David H. Koch Professor of Biology, Massachusetts Institute of Technology
Investigator, Howard Hughes Medical Institute
Dr. Tyler Jacks, Ph.D. is the David H. Koch Professor of Biology and the Director of the Center for Cancer Research
at the Massachusetts Institute of Technology. He is also an Investigator of the Howard Hughes Medical Institute. Dr.
Jacks received his B.A. in Biology from Harvard College. His Ph.D. thesis was performed with Nobel laureate Harold
Varmus at the University of California, San Francisco and his post-doctoral research was carried out in the laboratory
of Robert Weinberg at the Whitehead Institute.
Since joining the MIT faculty in 1992, he has pioneered the use of gene targeting technology in the mouse to study
cancer-associated genes and to construct mouse models of many human cancer types, including cancers of the lung,
brain and ovary. In addition to mouse modeling, a major focus of research in Dr. Jacks’ laboratory has been the role of
p53 in the elimination of damaged and pre-cancerous cells by programmed cell death as well as the oncogenic
function of the K-ras gene. He has published more than 190 scientific papers.
Le cancer reste une préoccupation majeure de notre société. Le MIT a engagé un programme important dans la
recherche sur le cancer dont Tyler JACKS nous parlera, à savoir les avancées actuelles et futures dans ce domaine,
lors d’un dîner-débat qui se tiendra :
