Dr. Irving Weissman was the honored E. Donnall Thomas lecturer at the Tandem BMT Meetings, held on February 10, 2007, at Keystone, Colorado. Dr. Weissman has been a major player, and has provided us with enormous insight into many areas of biology, dating back to his high school days in Montana. He led an enormously productive career at Stanford University where he has taught us many lessons involving our understanding of lymphocyte homing, stem cell biology, both of the hematopoietic system and other types of stem cells, and also now, about cancer stem cells. Dr. Weissman has made enormous contributions to this burgeoning field that has provided us new insights and new opportunities for treatment strategies. In addition to a very productive laboratory career, he is also currently the director of both the Stem Cell Institute, as well as the Cancer Center at Stanford University. The following text is a modified transcribed version of the presentation made by Dr. Weissman.
欧文·魏斯曼博士是2007年2月10日在科罗拉多州基斯通举行的串联骨髓移植会议上备受赞誉的E. 唐纳尔·托马斯讲座主讲人。魏斯曼博士一直是一位重要人物,从他在蒙大拿州上高中时起,就为我们提供了许多生物学领域的深刻见解。他在斯坦福大学拥有极其丰硕的职业生涯,在那里他给我们传授了许多经验教训,涉及我们对淋巴细胞归巢、干细胞生物学的理解,包括造血系统和其他类型干细胞的干细胞生物学,以及现在关于癌症干细胞的知识。魏斯曼博士为这个蓬勃发展的领域做出了巨大贡献,该领域为我们提供了新的见解和治疗策略的新机会。除了非常富有成果的实验室工作生涯外,他目前还是干细胞研究所所长以及斯坦福大学癌症中心主任。以下文本是魏斯曼博士演讲的修改转录版本。
