Cold Spring Harbor Laboratory Cultural Series
Scott Lowe, Ph.D., is a world-renowned cancer researcher and director of the Tita Monti Cancer Research Laboratory at Cold Spring Harbor Laboratory. Lowe and colleagues study functional networks formed by cancer-causing genes and genes that act to suppress the formation of tumors (called, respectively, oncogenes and tumor-suppressor genes). They seek to determine how genetic lesions affecting these networks contribute to tumor development and resistance to cancer therapy. Lowe has also made important progress in studying a process called cellular senescence, a potentially powerful mechanism for suppressing tumors. In his lecture, Lowe will provide an overview of recent progress made on many fronts in his and other labs at CSHL, part of the massive effort to unravel the mysteries of the many related illnesses we collectively call “cancer.” 7 p.m. at the Cold Spring Harbor Laboratory, 1 Bungtown Rd., Cold Spring Harbor. Call 367-8455.
