| Description: | Dr. Cravatt received his Ph.D. in macromolecular and cellular structure and chemistry from The Scripps Research Institute (TSRI). He became assistant professor at The Skaggs Institute for Chemical Biology and in the department of cell biology at TSRI. He continued to move through the ranks at TSRI as an assistant professor in the department of chemistry and later as an associate professor and then professor in the departments of cell biology and chemistry. In addition to being a professor and chair in the department of chemical physiology at TSRI, Dr. Cravatt is also the director of the Helen L.
Dorris Child and Adolescent Neuro-Psychiatric Disorder Institute. Dr. Cravatt’s research group aims to understand the roles that mammalian enzymes play in physiological and pathological processes and to use this knowledge to identify novel therapeutic targets for the treatment of human disease. To achieve these goals, his group develops and applies new technologies that bridge the fields of chemistry and biology, ascribing to the philosophy that the most significant biomedical problems require creative multidisciplinary approaches for their solution.
NCI’s Center for Cancer Research (CCR) Grand Rounds is a weekly lecture series addressing current research in clinical and molecular oncology. Speakers are leading national and international researchers and clinicians proposed by members of the CCR Grand Rounds Planning Committee and others within the CCR community and approved by the CCR Office of the Director. Lectures occur every Tuesday from 8:00 to 9:00 a.m. in Lipsett Amphitheater in the Clinical Center building on the NIH campus September through July with exceptions around holidays and major cancer meetings. The lecture schedule is posted on various calendars of events, including at the following link: http://www.bethesdatrials.cancer.gov/health-care-professionals/grand-rounds.aspx |
