| Abstract: | (CIT): Dr. Scadden received his M.D. from Case Western Reserve School of Medicine. He performed his internship and residency at Brigham and Women"s Hospital in Boston. He did a clinical fellowship in medicine at Harvard Medical School followed by a clinical fellowship in hematology/oncology at Brigham and Women"s Hospital, Dana-Farber Cancer Institute. He did subsequent fellowships at Harvard Medical School, Brigham and Women"s Hospital, HHMI, and New England Medical Center. He has been on staff at hospitals in the Boston area including Deaconess Hospital, St. Luke"s Hospital of New Bedford, Waltham-Weston Hospital , Massachusetts General Hospital, and Brigham and Women"s Hospital. He is currently on staff at Dana-Farber Cancer Institute and Massachusetts General Hospital. Dr. Scadden is the Gerald and Darlene Jordan Professor of Medicine at Harvard University. He and Professor Douglas Melton founded and jointly direct the Harvard Stem Cell Institute which is the largest institute dedicated to bringing stem cell biology to medical care in the world. With Professor Melton, Professor Scadden founded and co-chairs the Department of Stem Cell and Regenerative Biology Department at Harvard University, the first department to span faculties in Harvard"s 371 year history. Dr. Scadden is a hematologist/oncologist and directs the Center for Regenerative Medicine at the Massachusetts General Hospital while also chairing the Hematologic Malignancies program in the MGH Cancer Center. He is an expert on the medical applications of stem cell biology with a particular emphasis on their use in the settings of cancer and AIDS. He has published more than 250 scientific papers and book chapters and his laboratory has made fundamental contributions in how the stem cell niche regulates stem cell function, in defining the molecules limiting stem cell growth and in discovering a molecular basis for stem cell aging. He is the recipient of numerous honors including membership in the Institute of Medicine of the National Academies of Science and awards from the Doris Duke Charitable Trust, the Burroughs Wellcome Fund and the Leukemia and Lymphoma Society. NCI's Center for Cancer Research (CCR) Grand Rounds is a weekly lecture series addressing current research in clinical and molecular oncology. Speakers are leading national and international researchers and clinicians proposed by members of the CCR Grand Rounds Planning Committee and others within the CCR community and approved by the CCR Office of the Director. Lectures occur every Tuesday from 8:00 to 9:00 a.m. in Lipsett Amphitheater in the Clinical Center building on the NIH campus September through July with exceptions around holidays and major cancer meetings. |
