From Immunotherapy of Cancer to the Discovery of Kidney Cancer Genes : A Personal History (Colloquium Series on the Genetic Basis of Human Disease)

I had the good fortune to work at the National Cancer Institute from 1965 to 2005. The National Cancer Institute provided an environment that permitted my curiosity to flourish. The work described in this manuscript was performed during a period of rapid advances in genetics. I was able to apply my clinical training and new genetic tools to study human kidney cancer.
