Henryk (Henry) Lubon

Dr. Henryk (Henry) Lubon joined the lab in the fall of 1985 and was the first post-doctoral fellow. He pursued many projects and made several discoveries. Among them, the protein complex that assembles over the enhancer of the immediate early 1 gene of the human cytomegalovirus. Henry was also the first to map proteins that bind specifically to the promoter of the whey acidic protein (WAP) gene promoter. Henry returned to his native Poland in 1988 only to return a few years later with his wife to the US. He accepted the position of Director of transgenic research at the American Red Cross in Rockville. He passed away in 2001 and is survived by his wife Jagda and a daughter.
