| Description: | Andy was an M.D., Ph.D student at Washington University School of Medicine and he remained at Barnes Hospital for his Residency in Internal Medicine. He moved to UCSF for his Fellowship in Rheumatology and in 1990 entered the lab of Art Weiss. His post-doctoral fellowship was tremendously successful as he discovered, cloned and characterized the critical protein tyrosine kinase, ZAP-70, which he showed was recruited to the T cell antigen receptor upon TCR engagement. He moved back to Washington University and rose through the faculty ranks and in the Howard Hughes Medical Institute. He continued studies on T cell activation and added B cell receptor signaling to his repertoire. In the new millennium he decided on a career change and moved back West to Genentech, again quite successfully becoming the Senior Vice President for Research-Immunology and Antibody Engineering. He continues his own research, which appears in the highest profile journals. He actively contributes as a meeting organizer, advisory board member and reviewer, and has been awarded membership in the American Society for Clinical Investigation and the American Association of Physicians. Andy has had a very distinguished career characterized by multiple significant discoveries. It should be a very stimulating lecture.
