Program:
Joan V. Ruderman is the Marion V. Nelson Professor of Cell Biology at Harvard Medical School and a trustee at the Marine Biological Laboratory, Woods Hole. She is an authority on early embryonic development, with emphasis on the control of the cell division cycle. She has served on the boards of the Searle Scholars Program, the American Society for Cell Biology, and the Society for Developmental Biology. Also, she co-organized the first Keystone meeting on Cell Cycle Control. Presently, she serves on the editorial boards of Molecular Biology of the Cell and Cell Growth and Differentiation. REcent work by Professor Ruderman has appeared in Cell, the Journal of Cell Biology, and Nature. Professor Ruderman will discuss the role of proteins called cyclins in the regulation of cell divison and how mutation of these cyclins can lead to abnormal cell division and ultimately cancers such as cervical and breast cancer, in which abnormal cyclin function has already been shown.
