David H. Hubel M.D. Nobel Laureates in Medicine 1901-1997 When David Hunter Hubel graduated with a B.Sc. from McGill University in 1947, he decided, almost by flipping a coin, to take medicine instead of physics, his particular interest at the time. In 1981, his discoveries “concerning information processing in the visual system” led to his being one of three doctors to share that year’s Nobel prize in medicine. In doing so, he became the third Canadian-born medical doctor awarded the prize since Alfred Nobel, the Swedish chemist and industrialist provided funds for the award in 1901. He is seen here, left, presenting the Governor General’s Silver Medal, in 1972, to the Acadia undergraduate achieving the highest academic standing in his/her first Bachelor’s degree program. [Photo courtesy Office of Public Affairs/Acadia University] The first Canadian to receive this award was Dr. Frederick Banting (1891-1941) who became a household name for his role in co-discovering insulin in 1921; the second was Dr. Charles B. Huggins who shared the award in 1966 for cancer research. Dr. Hubel was a professor of neurobiology at the Harvard University Medical School in 1981 when he became a co-winner with his friend and co-worker at Harvard, Dr. Torsten Wiesel, and neuroscientist Dr. Roger Sperry of the California Institute of Technology. After learning in 1981 that he had just been awarded the Nobel Prize for Medicine or Physiology, which he shared with fellow laureate, Torsten Weisel, for work on “information processing in the visual system,” Ontario-born David Hubel held a celebration conference in his classroom at Harvard University. A neurophysiologist, Dr. Hubel is one of only three Canadian-born doctors to be so honoured for their distinguished work in medical research. [Photo courtesy Marc Peloquin via Dr. David Hubel]

Huggins, MD, 1901-1997 January 13, 1997 Nobel Prize winner Charles Brenton Huggins, MD, the William B. Ogden Distinguished Service Professor Emeritus of Surgery at the University of Chicago Medical Center, died at his Hyde Park home on January 12, 1997. The last survivor of the original eight faculty members of the medical school, Dr. Huggins was 95 years old. A plaque in his office, posted above his desk, carried his motto: "Discovery is our business." The death was reported by his daughter Emily Huggins Fine. Dr. Huggins' research on prostate cancer changed forever the way scientists regarded the behavior of all cancer cells and for the first time brought hope to the prospect of treating advanced cancers. By showing that cancer cells were not autonomous and self perpetuating, as previously believed, but were dependent on chemical signals, such as hormones to grow and survive, and that depriving cancer cells of those signals could restore the health of patients with widespread metastases, Dr. Huggins provided an immense stimulus to research on cancer chemotherapy. He also founded the renowned Ben May Laboratory for Cancer Research at the University of Chicago. He trained and inspired the lives of numerous medical scientists. And he became the leading urologist of his day, bringing a new level of scientific curiosity and inquiry to a neglected surgical specialty. Dr. Huggins was a pioneer in understanding the physiology and biochemistry of the male urogenital tract and was able to extend his findings from this field into many other areas.

Search Jump To: Home About Us Faculty News / Events Employment Support Computing Administration Symposium Over the past several years, there have been an increasing number of reports in the media about breakthroughs in cancer research. Inevitably in these cases, the pronounced excitement of some of the most celebrated scientific minds, televised for the world to see and quoted in newspaper and magazine articles the world over, fuels the public's fascination. The thrill of the moment seizes the press and eventually the unlikely possibility of a "magic bullet" which will single-handedly rid the world of cancer's evil specter is once again raised. In time, however, calmer heads prevail, the media attention wanes, the world of science returns to its methodical course, and cancer, as before, seems just a step ahead of the good guys almost as if nothing had changed. But, in fact, things have changed - the change has been happening slowly and quietly for the entire twenty-plus years since the War on Cancer was declared in the early '70s. It's just that change happens differently in the scientific world. For every blockbuster discovery reported in the media, there are hundreds if not thousands of smaller, just as meaningful, breakthroughs reported each month in scientific journals. They are the pieces of a massively complex puzzle, placed ever so delicately into position, revealing only a part of the big picture but guiding us in our search for the next piece.

49. Methods Of Treatment - Hormone Therapy - Our Best Friend To The Rescue Tamoxifen was just over the horizon. For more information, at other Web sites charles brenton huggins — autobiography from the Nobel eMuseum. http://www.chemheritage.org/EducationalServices/pharm/chemo/readings/horm.htm

Methods of Treatment: Hormone Therapy Our Best Friend to the Rescue "Now go fetch me a cure..." Surprisingly, there are only two animal species that are known to develop cancerous tumors of the prostate gland—dogs and humans. It was this rare biological connection between humans and their "best friends" that made the story of the development of the first hormone-based treatment of cancer possible. Hormones are chemical substances that help to control the processes taking place within plants and animals. Endocrinology, the study of hormones, their production, and their effects, was a relatively new field when it came to human endocrinology in the 1930s. This was the decade in which Dr. Charles Benton Huggins—a professor of surgery at the University of Chicago—began to study the connections between hormones and cancer. It just so happened that he began to study these connections through observations of and experiments upon dogs. Charles B. Huggins Huggins was interested in an outstanding puzzle in the scientific understanding of cancer. The behavior of normal cells is regulated through a number of processes in the human body. One type of these regulating processes is governed chemically, through the action of hormones. For example, just consider all the changes in the body caused by hormones during puberty. The outstanding puzzle was this: did cancer cells still respond to these regulation processes, or were they beyond their control entirely? Huggins decided to look for a general answer through the study of the prostate gland. Because he would have to use fairly drastic experiments to answer his questions, he turned first to looking at dogs.

Nominate a Scientist Former Winners, 1963 Albert Lasker Award for Clinical Medical Research Charles Huggins Obituary The following is an obituary on Dr. Huggins published by the New York Times on Wednesday, January 15, 1997. Dr. Charles B. Huggins, who won a Nobel Prize for discoveries that helped open a new era for drug therapy for cancer, died on Sunday at his home in Chicago. He was 95 and was in failing health for several years. Dr. Huggins started his career as a surgeon in the1920s and made important findings in his speciality of urology at the University of Chicago before turning to cancer research in the 1930s. At that time, cancers were generally treated not with drugs, but with surgery. In 1941, Dr. Huggins published papers showing a relationship between the hormonal system and normal functioning of the prostate. By showing the competition between male and female hormones, and then selectively blocking their actions, he achieved some initial success in treating cancer. Female sex hormones, estrogens, could be used to retard prostate cancer and could even be taken orally. In the 1950s, Dr. Huggins went on to work on breast cancer. He was the second surgeon to win a Nobel Prize in Medicine or Physiology in 1966. The Nobel Committee cited ?fundamental discoveries concerning the hormone dependence of normal and neoplastic (cancerous) cells in experimental animals and their immediate practical application to the treatment of human prostate and breast cancer?.
