| 释义 |
George Khoury (1943 – April 25, 1987) was an American scientist who was chief of the molecular virology laboratory at the National Cancer Institute from 1980 to his death. He conducted early research with enhancers and was elected to membership in the National Academy of Sciences shortly before his death from lymphoma. BiographyBorn in Pittsburgh to George and Dorothy Khoury, he attended William Allen High School.[1] Khoury graduated from Princeton University and Harvard Medical School. At Harvard, he received early research training from John Franklin Enders, and he began to study SV40 with Jan van der Noorda. After a year as a medical intern at Massachusetts General Hospital, Khoury joined NIH as a research associate. He conducted early investigations into transcription patterns in the SV40 genome.[2] In 1980, he was named chief of the Laboratory of Molecular Biology at the National Cancer Institute.[3] At NCI, Khoury's lab uncovered the first genetic enhancer while working with SV40. Nadia Rosenthal, one of the researchers in Khoury's lab, later found the first human enhancer.[4] Khoury received an Arthur S. Flemming Award in 1981.[5] He was elected to the National Academy of Sciences in 1987.[6] Khoury died of lymphoma shortly after he was elected to the NAS.[3] The George Khoury Lecture was established in his memory by NIH.[7] References1. ^{{cite news|title=Dr. George Khoury, 43, researcher, aide at NIH|url=http://articles.mcall.com/1987-04-29/news/2579055_1_nih-laboratory-marilyn-khoury|accessdate=April 5, 2016|work=The Morning Call|date=April 29, 1987}} {{authority control}}{{DEFAULTSORT:Khoury, George}}2. ^{{cite journal|last1=Livingston|first1=David|title=George Khoury (1943–1987)|journal=Cell|date=June 5, 1987|volume=49|issue=5|page=577|url=http://www.cell.com/cell/pdf/0092-8674(87)90529-0.pdf|accessdate=April 5, 2016|doi=10.1016/0092-8674(87)90529-0}} 3. ^1 {{cite news|title=Dr. George Khoury|url=https://www.nytimes.com/1987/04/30/obituaries/dr-george-khoury.html|accessdate=April 5, 2016|work=The New York Times|date=April 30, 1987}} 4. ^{{cite web|last1=Chen|first1=Ingfei|title=Renaissance woman|url=http://www.sciencemag.org/careers/2003/06/renaissance-woman|publisher=Science|accessdate=April 5, 2016|date=June 20, 2003}} 5. ^{{cite news|title=NIH molecular biologist Dr. George Khoury dies|url=https://www.washingtonpost.com/archive/local/1987/04/29/nih-molecular-biologist-dr-george-khoury-dies/51cf58aa-3278-45cb-946a-9687db442726/|accessdate=April 5, 2016|work=The Washington Post|date=April 29, 1987}} 6. ^{{cite web|title=The National Academy of Sciences and of Engineering|url=http://irp.nih.gov/about-us/honors/the-national-academy-of-sciences-and-of-engineering|publisher=National Institutes of Health|accessdate=April 5, 2016}} 7. ^{{cite web|title=George Khoury Lecture|url=https://oir.nih.gov/wals/named-honorific-lectures/george-khoury-lecture|publisher=National Institutes of Health|accessdate=April 5, 2016}} 8 : 1943 births|1987 deaths|American molecular biologists|National Institutes of Health people|Scientists from Pittsburgh|Princeton University alumni|Harvard Medical School alumni|Deaths from lymphoma |
