Ronald Crystal, M.D., receives Pioneer Award

PUBLIC RELEASE DATE:

New Rochelle, NY, January 31, 2014In recognition of his seminal work on adenoviral vectors, which accelerated the translation of gene therapy from the research laboratory to the clinic, Ronald G. Crystal, MD (Weill Cornell Medical College, Cornell University, New York City), has received a Pioneer Award from Human Gene Therapy, a peer-reviewed journal from Mary Ann Liebert, Inc., publishers. Human Gene Therapy is commemorating its 25th anniversary by bestowing this honor on the leading 12 Pioneers in the field of cell and gene therapy selected by a blue ribbon committee* and publishing a Pioneer Perspective by each of the award recipients. The article by Dr. Crystal is available on the Human Gene Therapy website.
Currently it is standard practice to use a modified virus as a transport vehicle to deliver therapeutic genes to patients. But this concept was new, innovative, and technically challenging when Dr. Crystal began developing the molecular tools and methods in the late 1980s. In the Pioneer Perspective "Adenovirus: The First Effective In Vivo Gene Delivery Vector," Dr. Crystal provides historical insights on the many years of research and testing needed to design, optimize, manufacture, and evaluate the performance of adenoviral vectors. He describes the first in vivo studies, the first human studies, and the many current applications of this useful gene delivery system.
"Ron led the way in the clinical translation of adenoviral vectors in the very early days of gene therapy," says James M. Wilson, MD, PhD, Editor-in-Chief of Human Gene Therapy, and Director of the Gene Therapy Program, Department of Pathology and Laboratory Medicine, University of Pennsylvania Perelman School of Medicine, Philadelphia.
###
*The blue ribbon panel of leaders in cell and gene therapy, led by Chair Mary Collins, PhD, MRC Centre for Medical Molecular Virology, University College London, selected the Pioneer Award recipients. The Award Selection Committee selected scientists that had devoted much of their careers to cell and gene therapy research and had made a seminal contribution to the field--defined as a basic science or clinical advance that greatly influenced progress in translational research.
About the Journal
Human Gene Therapy, the official journal of the European Society of Gene and Cell Therapy, British Society for Gene and Cell Therapy, French Society of Cell and Gene Therapy, German Society of Gene Therapy, and five other gene therapy societies, is an authoritative peer-reviewed journal published monthly in print and online. Human Gene Therapy presents reports on the transfer and expression of genes in mammals, including humans. Related topics include improvements in vector development, delivery systems, and animal models, particularly in the areas of cancer, heart disease, viral disease, genetic disease, and neurological disease, as well as ethical, legal, and regulatory issues related to the gene transfer in humans. Its sister journals, Human Gene Therapy Methods, published bimonthly, focuses on the application of gene therapy to product testing and development, and Human Gene Therapy Clinical Development, published quarterly, features data relevant to the regulatory review and commercial development of cell and gene therapy products. Tables of content for all three publications and a free sample issue may be viewed on the Human Gene Therapy website.

Neanderthal-Human Breeding Was Hard, But Yielded Benefits
Posted: at 3:43 pm
Hairiness -- allowing adaptation to warmer environments -- was among gains
Roughly 500,000 year ago, the breeding populations that would evolve into humans (Homo sapiens) and Neanderthals (Homo neanderthalensis) separated. Neanderthals came to dominate the mountainous, forest terrain of Europe, while humans spread out across the warm grasslands of Africa and the Middle East. But the long estranged relatives would come into contact in an intimate way once more when mankind thrust its way into Europe roughly 80,000 years ago. And by intimate, yes, we mean there was sex. I. Understanding Our Shared Family Secret -- Neanderthal Sex Ever since researcher and entrepreneur J. Craig Venter, Ph.D. became the first human to have his or her genome sequenced in 2007, the race was on to sequence the Neanderthal genome and find what secrets it might hold. Led by led by the Max Planck Institute for Evolutionary Anthropology in Leipzig, Germany and its top ancient-DNA expert, Svante Pbo, the project yielded a draft genome in May 2010, followed by a "finished" Neanderthal genome in March 2013. With the initial 2010 announcement, definitive proof of our ancestors' steamy romance with European Neanderthals was laid bare for the first time. Today researchers are still worker to chronicle that mysterious engagement and what impacts it has on modern human genetics. Harvard Medical School (HMS) geneticist Professor David Reich's lab -- working with collaborators at the Max Planck Institute -- is the latest to offer new insight into this relationship.
It suggests the introduction of some of these Neanderthal mutations was harmful to the ancestors of non-Africans and that these mutations were later removed by the action of natural selection.
Now that we can estimate the probability that a particular genetic variant arose from Neanderthals, we can begin to understand how that inherited DNA affects us. We may also learn more about what Neanderthals themselves were like. [The barren DNA stretches] suggest that when ancient humans met and mixed with Neanderthals, the two species were at the edge of biological incompatibility. It is fascinating that these types of problems could arise over that short a time scale.
The researchers next goals include making tests for the Neanderthal genes identified available to the public, enhancing the hunt for Neanderthal genomes by sequencing other Neanderthals' full gene sequences, and sequencing the DNA of Denisovans (Denisova hominins) -- another close relative of man that bread with early humans in Oceania.
The ongoing research is funded by the Max Planck Institute, the Howard Hughes Medical Institute (HHMI), the National Science Foundation, and the National Institutes of Health (NIH).
