Forum Renato Dulbecco - Il Nobel che sa scherzare Torna all'indice Renato Dulbecco, Premio Nobel ‘75 Renato Dulbecco è nato a Catanzaro, da madre calabrese e padre ligure. Si trasferì in giovane età a Cuneo e poi a Torino, con la famiglia, perché il padre fu chiamato alle armi nelle due città piemontesi. Alla fine della Prima Guerra Mondiale si trasferì ancora ad Imperia, dove stette per molti anni. Fu durante gli anni del "De Amicis" che si appassionò ai fenomeni meteorologici e alla fisica costruendo perfino un sismografo elettronico. Nel dopoguerra fu subito eletto consigliere comunale di Torino, ma la politica "non faceva per lui" e dopo pochi mesi lasciò per tornare ai laboratori di ricerca. Tornò all'Istituto Levi e lavorò ancora con Rita Levi-Montalcini, che lo incoraggiò a partire per gli Usa e a intraprendere gli studi di biologia. Iniziò a lavorare con Luria a Bloomington, nell'Indiana, ai due presto si aggiunse Jim Watson. Usando le sue conoscenze matematiche in due anni compì un buon lavoro coronato da notevoli scoperte nel campo della "fotoriattivazione". Questi risultati attirarono l'attenzione di Max Delbrück, che gli offrì un lavoro nel suo gruppo a Caltech. Si trasferì al Caltech nell'estate 1949 e nel corso del viaggio di trasferimento si innamorò degli Stati Uniti e promise a se stesso che avrebbe vissuto il resto della sua vita in questa nazione. Una promessa che avrebbe rotto soltanto 23 anni più tardi.

HOME SITE HELP ABOUT SEARCH ... EDUCATIONAL I was born in Catanzaro, Italy, from a Calabrese mother and a Ligurian father. I stayed in that city for a short time; my father was called into the army (World War I) and we moved to the north, Cuneo and Torino. At the end of the war my father, who was in the "Genio Civile", was sent to Imperia, Liguria, where we stayed for many years. The life I remember begins at Imperia, where I went to school, including the Ginnasio-Liceo "De Amicis". What I remember most of that period, besides my family and the few friends, was the rocky beach where I spent most of my time during the summer holiday, and a small meterological observatory, where I used to spend lots of my free time throughout the year. There I developed a strong liking for physics, which I put to good use by building an electronic seismograph, probably one of the first of its kind, which actually worked. I graduated from high school at 16 (1930) and went to the University in Torino. Although I liked especially physics and mathematics for which I had considerable talent, I decided to study medicine. This profession had for me a strong emotional appeal, which was reinforced by having an uncle who was an excellent surgeon. In Torino I was a very successful student, but I soon realized that I was interested in biology more than in applied medicine. So I went to work with Giuseppe Levi, the professor of Anatomy, where I learned Histology and the rudiments of cell culture. For my degree, however, I went to morbid anatomy and pathology. In Levi's laboratory I met two students who later had a strong influence on my life:

Renato Dulbecco (1914- ) Index Vita Synposis References Vita Born in 1914, Liguria, Italy M.D. 1934, University of Turin Postdoc with Salvador Luria , Indiana University Nobel Prize in Physiology or Medicine, 1975, with David Baltimore and Howard Temin. Synopsis Dulbecco is a pivotal figure in the history of tumor virus research. An Italian immigrant with an M.D., Dulbecco came to the U.S. in order to learn research biology that could be applied to medicine. He spent a postdoctoral fellowship with Salvador Luria, one of the founders of the phage group, in the late 1940s. There he worked side by side with James Watson, then a graduate student. Dulbecco modified techniques used by the bacteriophage researchers and applied them to animal viruses, which had more relevance to human disease. His "plaque assay" made laboratory research on the genetics of tumor viruses practical and opened the door to the flood of tumor virus research in the 1960s and 1970s. Dulbecco shared the 1975 Nobel Prize in Physiology or Medicine with David Baltimore and Howard Temin, two researchers who independently isolated, using tumor viruses, the paradigm-shattering enzyme reverse transcriptase.

Dulbecco, Renato (b. Feb. 22, 1914, Catanzaro, Italy), Italian virologist who shared the Nobel Prize for Physiology or Medicine in 1975 with Howard M. Temin and David Baltimore , both of whom had studied under him. Dulbecco obtained his M.D. from the University of Turin in 1936 and remained there several years as a member of its faculty. He came to the United States in 1947 and studied viruses, first with Salvador Luria at Indiana University, then at the California Institute of Technology (1949-63). He was a fellow at the Salk Institute for Biological Studies in La Jolla, Calif. (1963-72), and returned there in 1977 as a distinguished research professor after serving for five years as a director of the Imperial Cancer Research Fund in London. During his second tenure at the Salk Institute, he served also on the faculty of the medical school of the University of California at San Diego (1977-81). Dulbecco, with Marguerite Vogt, pioneered the growing of animal viruses in culture in the 1950s and investigated how certain viruses gain control of the cells they infect. They showed that polyoma virus, which produces tumours in mice, inserts its DNA into the DNA of the host cell. The cell then undergoes transformation (a term used in this restricted sense by Dulbecco) into a cancer cell, reproducing the viral DNA along with its own and producing more cancer cells. Dulbecco suggested that human cancers could be caused by similar reproduction of foreign DNA fragments.

The cell was the initial unit of life, and it remained so as life evolved. The Design of Life, We can condense our findings about life by saying that life is the actuation of the instructions encoded in the genes. Ibid Nature is inventive. Ibid. In the evolution of life DNA created the brain because devices were needed for sensing the environment: prey had to be identified, predators avoided, a mate located. Ibid. Among the creatures more familiar to us are about twenty-five thousand species of birds, six thousand of reptiles, and fifteen thousand of mammals. Ibid. We must remember that life is more than the human species and that the human species needs the whole of life. Ibid.
