John Greenfield Jr., M.D., Ph.D., has been named chairman of the Department of Neurology in the University of Arkansas for Medical Sciences (UAMS) College of Medicine, effective July 1.	OCT. 15, 2004 \| Examining the genetic mechanisms that differentiate us all could lead to selective cancer treatments, said researcher Frank J. Rauscher III, Ph.D., as he delivered the third Elizabeth Weitzenhoffer Blass Lecture in Cancer Genetics at the University of Arkansas for Medical Sciences (UAMS) on Oct. 11. Rauscher, professor and chairman of the gene expression and regulation program and deputy director of the Wistar Institute Cancer Center at the University of Pennsylvania, told a crowd of more than 100 about the genetic “switches” that are turned on or off during human development and when mis-regulated lead to diseases including cancer. Researchers are mapping these gene regulation processes to learn which combination leads to development of some cancers. The goal then is finding molecules that inhibit that combination. “If you can get the genetics down, then the drug companies can look at their library of molecules for inhibitors,” Rauscher said. “This is not pie-in-the-sky. This is taking basic scientific discovery in genetic regulation and getting it into the clinic.” Rauscher said that as the work progresses, researchers will find how to make targeted solutions that “essentially reset the genetic switches in cancer patients.” Rauscher made his presentation in the Sam Walton Auditorium at the Arkansas Cancer Research Center (ACRC) at UAMS. The Elizabeth Weitzenhoffer Blass Lecture in Cancer Genetics is an endowed annual lecture. Blass of Little Rock is a founding member of the UAMS Foundation Fund Board and the ACRC Foundation Fund Board. She chaired the drive to raise $7 million to build the first phase of the ACRC. Blass also is a founding member of the advisory board of the Donald W. Reynolds Center on Aging at UAMS. UAMS Chancellor I. Dodd Wilson, M.D., praised Blass as “the first rainmaker for UAMS” for her influence in raising funds for various programs. Wilson and ACRC director James Suen thanked Blass for her time and effort on behalf of UAMS.

John Greenfield Jr., M.D., Ph.D., has been named chairman of the Department of Neurology in the University of Arkansas for Medical Sciences (UAMS) College of Medicine, effective July 1.	OCT. 15, 2004 \| Examining the genetic mechanisms that differentiate us all could lead to selective cancer treatments, said researcher Frank J. Rauscher III, Ph.D., as he delivered the third Elizabeth Weitzenhoffer Blass Lecture in Cancer Genetics at the University of Arkansas for Medical Sciences (UAMS) on Oct. 11. Rauscher, professor and chairman of the gene expression and regulation program and deputy director of the Wistar Institute Cancer Center at the University of Pennsylvania, told a crowd of more than 100 about the genetic “switches” that are turned on or off during human development and when mis-regulated lead to diseases including cancer. Researchers are mapping these gene regulation processes to learn which combination leads to development of some cancers. The goal then is finding molecules that inhibit that combination. “If you can get the genetics down, then the drug companies can look at their library of molecules for inhibitors,” Rauscher said. “This is not pie-in-the-sky. This is taking basic scientific discovery in genetic regulation and getting it into the clinic.” Rauscher said that as the work progresses, researchers will find how to make targeted solutions that “essentially reset the genetic switches in cancer patients.” Rauscher made his presentation in the Sam Walton Auditorium at the Arkansas Cancer Research Center (ACRC) at UAMS. The Elizabeth Weitzenhoffer Blass Lecture in Cancer Genetics is an endowed annual lecture. Blass of Little Rock is a founding member of the UAMS Foundation Fund Board and the ACRC Foundation Fund Board. She chaired the drive to raise $7 million to build the first phase of the ACRC. Blass also is a founding member of the advisory board of the Donald W. Reynolds Center on Aging at UAMS. UAMS Chancellor I. Dodd Wilson, M.D., praised Blass as “the first rainmaker for UAMS” for her influence in raising funds for various programs. Wilson and ACRC director James Suen thanked Blass for her time and effort on behalf of UAMS.
