| Description: | Dr. Carlo Croce earned his medical degree, summa cum laude, in 1969 from the School of Medicine, University of Rome. He began his career in the United States the following year as an associate scientist at the Wistar Institute of Biology and Anatomy in Philadelphia. In 1980, he was named Wistar Professor of Genetics at the University of Pennsylvania and associate director of the Wistar Institute, titles he held until 1988. From 1988 to 1991, he was director of the Fels Institute for Cancer Research and Molecular Biology at Temple University School of Medicine in Philadelphia. In 1991, Dr. Croce was named director of the Kimmel Cancer Center at Jefferson Medical College at the Thomas Jefferson University in Philadelphia. Under his direction at Ohio State, faculty within the Human Cancer Genetics Program conduct both clinical and basic research. Basic research projects focus on how genes are activated and inactivated, how cell-growth signals are transmitted and regulated within cells, and how cells interact with the immune system. Clinical research focuses on discovering genes linked to cancer and mutations that predispose people to cancer. Dr. Croce, a member of the National Academy of Sciences in the United States and the Accademia Nazionale delle Scienze detta deiXL in Italy, has received numerous significant cancer research awards including the 30th Annual Jeffrey A. Gottlieb Memorial Award and most recently the 2008 Leopold Griffuel Prize awarded by the French Association for Cancer Research. He is principal investigator on seven federal research grants and has authored more than 800 peer-reviewed, published research papers.
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. The lecture schedule is posted on various calendars of events, including at the following link: http://www.bethesdatrials.cancer.gov/health-care-professionals/grand-rounds.aspx |
