Tim Bowden, Chair (Radiation Oncology), David S. Alberts (Internal Medicine), Harris Bernstein (Microbiology and Immunology), Eugene W. Gerner (Radiation Oncology), William J. Grimes (Biochemistry), Evan M. Hersh (Internal Medicine), Junetsu Ito (Microbiology and Immunology), John W. Little (Biochemistry), Neil Mendelson (Molecular and Cellular Biology), David W. Mount (Molecular and Cellular Biology), Raymond B. Nagle (Pathology), Garth Powis (Pharmacology), Sydney E. Salmon (Internal Medicine), Nobuyoshi Shimizu (Molecular and Cellular Biology), I. Glenn Sipes (Pharmacology and Toxicology), Raymond Taetle (Internal Medicine), Samuel Ward (Molecular and Cellular Biology), Ronald Weinstein (Pathology) Associate Professors Danny L. Brower (Molecular and Cellular Biology), Louise M. Canfield (Biochemistry), Anne E. Cress (Radiation Oncology), William S. Dalton (Internal Medicine), Carol Dieckmann (Biochemistry), Harinder S. Garewal (Internal Medicine), Helen Gensler (Radiation Oncology), Robert Gillies (Biochemistry), Jennifer D. Hall (Molecular and Cellular Biology), Mary J. C. Hendrix (Anatomy), Siraj Mufti, Research Associate Scientist (Pharmacology and Toxicology) Assistant Professors Alison E. Adams (Molecular and Cellular Biology), Kit S. Lam (Internal Medicine), Daniel C. Liebler (Pharmacology and Toxicology), Alan F. List (Medicine), Jesse D. Martinez (Radiation Oncology), Roger L. Meisfeld (Biochemistry), Marianne Powell (Internal Medicine), Charles W. Taylor (Internal Medicine), Ted Weinert (Molecular and Cellular Biology) Scientists from various departments comprise the interdepartmental Program on Cancer Biology which offers programs leading to the Master of Science and Doctor of Philosophy degrees with a major in cancer biology. The curriculum of the cancer biology graduate program is designed to introduce students to the body of knowledge that has been derived from experiments on the production, properties, and therapy of cancer and to assure that the students have the necessary background in one or more areas of related fundamental science to enable them to do original research. For more information concerning admissions and degree requirements, see the Graduate Catalog. 505. Eukaryotic DNA Replication (3) [Rpt./1] I 1994-95 Molecular and biochemical aspects of DNA replication in mammalian cells will be described in conjunction with discussions of recent journal articles on selected topics. Includes the regulation of S phase within the eukaryotic cell cycle; nuclear organization during DNA synthesis; DNA replication enzymes; viral, yeast and embryo models of DNA replication; the initiation of DNA replication; DNA replication origins and the reconstitution of DNA replication complexes. P, BIOC 462b. (Identical with BIOC 505, MCB 505, and MBIM 505) Cress 551. Molecular Mechanisms of Carcinogenesis (3) I 1994-95 Physical and chemical carcinogenesis. Special emphasis will be upon molecular aspects of the interaction of the carcinogenic agents with mammalian cells and the subsequent mutagenic and metabolic consequences of such interactions. The topics of oncogene activation and tumor suppressor gene inactivation induced by carcinogens during multi-stage carcinogenesis will be emphasized. The molecular biology techniques used in the study of carcinogenesis will also be covered. P, consult program before enrolling. (Identical with MBIM 551 and RONC 551). Bowden 555. Cancer Biology (3) II 1993-94 Fundamental biological aspects of neoplastic growth at the organ, cellular, and molecular levels; emphasis on the etiology, behavior, and therapy of neoplasms. (Identical with ANAT 555, MEDI 555, MBIM 555 and RONC 555) 589. Cancer Genetics and Cytogenetics (3) I 1993-94 Understanding correlations of molecular biologic/chromosomal change in human cancer and the role of genetic change in progression and metastasis of cancer. P, ECOL 320 or MCB 320. (Identical with GENE 589, MBIM 589 and MCB 589) Martinez 595. Colloquium a.
