About: Jerry Adams

An Entity of Type: person, from Named Graph: http://dbpedia.org, within Data Space: dbpedia.org

Jerry McKee Adams, FAA, FRS, FAHMS, FRSV (born 17 June 1940) is an Australian-American molecular biologist whose research into the genetics of haemopoietic differentiation and malignancy, led him and his wife, Professor Suzanne Cory, to be the first two scientists to pioneer gene cloning techniques in Australia, and to successfully clone mammalian genes. It was in Adams' lab that his PhD student, David Vaux, made the connection between apoptosis (programmed cell death) and cancer, while studying the bcl-2 gene in follicular lymphoma, the most common human lymphoma.

  • Jerry McKee Adams, FAA, FRS, FAHMS, FRSV (born 17 June 1940) is an Australian-American molecular biologist whose research into the genetics of haemopoietic differentiation and malignancy, led him and his wife, Professor Suzanne Cory, to be the first two scientists to pioneer gene cloning techniques in Australia, and to successfully clone mammalian genes. Adams currently shares (with Andreas Strasser) the position of Joint-Head of the Molecular Genetics of Cancer Division at The Walter and Eliza Hall Institute of Medical Research (WEHI) in Melbourne (Australia). Their research, following that by Susumu Tonegawa, also led to the discovery that antibody genes encode as bits and pieces, that can recombine in a myriad of ways to help fight infection; they also confirmed earlier work by Shen-Ong & Cole, Leder, Hood, Croce, and Hayward that genetic mutation leads to Burkitt's lymphoma, a malignancy of antibody-producing cells, called "B lymphocytes". It was in Adams' lab that his PhD student, David Vaux, made the connection between apoptosis (programmed cell death) and cancer, while studying the bcl-2 gene in follicular lymphoma, the most common human lymphoma.

  • Jerry McKee Adams (né le 17 juin 1940) est un biologiste moléculaire australo-américain dont les recherches sur la génétique de la différenciation hématopoïétique et de la malignité l'ont amené, lui et sa femme, la professeure Suzanne Cory, à être les deux premiers scientifiques à mettre au point des techniques de clonage de gènes en Australie et à cloner avec succès des gènes de mammifères. Adams partage actuellement (avec Andreas Strasser) le poste de co-responsable de la division de génétique moléculaire du cancer à l'Institut Walter et Eliza Hall (WEHI) à Melbourne (Australie). Leur recherche, à la suite de celle de Susumu Tonegawa, a également conduit à la découverte que les gènes d'anticorps codent sous forme de morceaux, qui peuvent se recombiner de multiples façons pour aider à combattre l'infection ; ils ont également confirmé des travaux antérieurs de Shen-Ong & Cole, Leder, Hood, Croce et Hayward selon lesquels une mutation génétique conduit au lymphome de Burkitt, une tumeur maligne des cellules productrices d'anticorps, appelées « lymphocytes B ».
