David Sherman Lecture 2012

David sherman lecture 2012: the role of positron emission tomography for translational research in stroke.

Translational research has the aim to transform scientific discoveries into clinical applications. Molecular concepts are analyzed in in vitro experiments, tested in vivo in animal preparations, and then explored in human studies by which the applicability for clinical disease management—diagnosis, treatment, prevention—is tested. Pathophysiological studies in animal models traditionally applie...

David J. Gross - Nobel Lecture

The progress of science is much more muddled than is depicted in most history books. This is especially true of theoretical physics, partly because history is written by the victorious. Consequently, historians of science often ignore the many alternate paths that people wandered down, the many false clues they followed, the many misconceptions they had. These alternate points of view are less ...

Banting Lecture 2012

The Banting Medal for Scientific Achievement Award is the American Diabetes Association's highest scientific award and honors an individual who has made significant, long-term contributions to the understanding of diabetes, its treatment, and/or prevention.The award is named after Nobel Prize winner Sir Frederick Banting, who codiscovered insulin treatment for diabetes.

David A. Karnofsky Memorial Award Lecture

THE EXPANDING knowledge of signaling pathways regulating cell growth, cell cycle progression, and programmed cell death has led to a dramatic improvement in our understanding of the molecular events involved in cancer. This knowledge has allowed the identification of numerous targets for anticancer agents. As we move forward into an era of molecularly targeted therapeutics, it is worth reviewin...
