The Scientist 12[14]:4, Jul. 06, 1998 News Ho, Varmus Address Serious Issues at Commencements By Eugene Russo Commencement ceremonies this spring at many colleges and universities across the country honored not only graduating students, but scientists hailing from a variety of fields. In recognition of their achievements, dozens of scientists received honorary degrees; some also offered words of advice to graduates. The speeches included the usual all-important cliches: Strive to be your best. Take risks. Seize opportunities. Retain your individuality. Learn for the sake of learning. However, several scientists also used the opportunity to voice their concerns on the current state of pressing issues such as AIDS research and public health. David Ho Speakers included well-known AIDS researcher David D. Ho , the director and chief executive officer of the Aaron Diamond AIDS Research Center at Rockefeller University in New York. Ho spoke at the commencement ceremonies of both Massachusetts Institute of Technology (MIT) in Boston and Swarthmore College in Swarthmore, Pa. Named Time Magazine's man of the year in 1996, Ho was the first to overturn the conventional assumption that the HIV virus remains dormant for up to ten years before causing AIDSa discovery that led to his novel treatment of the virus with a combination of drugs.

Search Advanced Search Previous Next Courtesy of Harold Varmus Harold Varmus is back on home turf in New York City, and he is one happy man. The Nobel Laureate and former director of the National Institutes of Health rides his bike in Central Park, invests in Broadway plays, writes movie reviews for The New York Times - and runs the Memorial Sloan-Kettering Cancer Center. "Every week, there is fun," he says. Varmus, 64, has always had a tug-and-pull between the arts and science. He edited his college paper at Amherst, and got his master's in literature. But he comes from a medical family: his father was a doctor, his mother a psychiatric social worker - and his personal tide turned [briefly] to medicine at the Columbia College of Physicians and Surgeons, and then to science as a trainee at the NIH. His time outside of Sloan-Kettering is not completely devoted to culture - Varmus is working with the Bill Gates Foundation on the Grand Challenges in Global Health initiative ( www.grandchallengesgh.org ) and with the Millenium Science Initiative (www.msi-sig.org) on its efforts to globalize science by sending trained scientists into the developing world to advise, teach, and learn. These projects, he recently told an AAAS meeting, represent a "remarkable opportunity for governments and scientists to advance all dimensions of the public interest." What was the genesis of the Public Library of Science?

Important note: Information in this article was accurate in 1993. The state of the art may have changed since the publication date. WASHINGTON WATCH: Harold Varmus Gay Men's Health Crisis: Treatment Issues, Volume 7 no. 9 - October, 1993 Derek Hodel President Clinton moved in August, after months of delay, to nominate Harold E. Varmus, MD, to head the sprawling National Institutes of Health (NIH), the nation's premier biomedical research organization. Varmus, a Nobel laureate cancer researcher from the University of California at San Francisco, will replace Bernadine Healy, MD, whose controversial tenure was marked by infighting at the agency, and just plain fighting on Capitol Hill. AIDS activists, though mostly pleased to see Healy go (with the exception of Project Inform's Martin Delaney, who urged the Clinton administration to retain Healy, a Bush appointee), reacted with a mixture of caution and outright suspicion to news of Varmus' nomination. Many were familiar with the Nobel laureate only by reputation at UCSF ("brilliant," "impossibly arrogant," "doesn't suffer fools,") or through a letter Varmus wrote, urging his colleagues to oppose the Office of AIDS Research reforms, an activist initiative recently signed into law as Title XVIII of the National Institutes of Health Revitalization Act of 1993 (S.1). AIDS activists were of mixed views as to how to respond to Varmus' nomination. Many, including the AIDS Action Council, the Treatment Action Group

Of course, there's nothing that prevents countries coordinating their efforts with the NIH, if indeed, the NIH prefers dealing with individual countries, rather than the WHO.

Without any doubt, the facts will prove that Dr. Fauci has broken the rules, Dr. Fauci has violated our trust and Dr. Fauci has compromised the most fundamental principles of scientific ethics and integrity.

Administration Varmus Birthday Celebration On December 12, 74 scientists gathered at Cold Spring Harbor Laboratory to celebrate the 60th birthday of Harold E. Varmus, M.D., director of the National Institutes of Health. Harold has since become President of Memorial Sloan-Kettering Cancer Center in New York City. He has been coming to meetings at CSHL for over a quarter century and is well known for his research accomplishments-including the discovery of cellular oncogenes with Mike Bishop that garnered them a Noble prize-as well as for his extraordinary leadership. As director of the NIH, Harold stressed the importance of biomedical research for the improvement of the human condition, and oversaw a dramatic increase in public support of biomedical science. Harold Varmus's birthday celebration at the Laboratory, which took the form of a two-day symposium on cancer cell biology, was organized by Steve Hughes of the National Cancer Institute (NCI); Titia de Lange of Rockefeller University; Roel Nusse, HHMI investigator at Stanford University Medical Center; all former Varmus laboratory members; and Suzanne Oritz of Varmus' lab. at the NCI.

October 19, 1999 letter from NIH Director, Dr. Harold Varmus to Ralph Nader, James Love and Robert Weissman responding to their request calling on the NIH to provide the World Health Organization, WHO, access to US government funded medical inventions. (Ralph Nader, James Love and Robert Weissman each received separate letters.) Dr. Harold E. Varmus Building 1, 126 National Institutes of Health Bethesda, Maryland 20892 James Love Consumer Project on Technology P.O. Box 19367, Washington, DC 20036 Dear Mr. Love: Thank you for your recommendations on how the National Institutes of Health (NIH) could interact with the World Health Organization (WHO) to provide it with commercial development rights to NIH-owned and -funded health care patents. As we are both aware, the licensing of Government inventions has received much attention in recent months from Members of Congress, patient advocacy groups, representatives of industry and the press. The public debate has been galvanized by concerns about the AIDS crisis in developing countries and the role of anti-AIDS therapeutic drugs in addressing that crisis. This proposal, if implemented, would have powerful repercussions on the current framework for drug development arising from federally supported basic research. I am concerned that your proposal that the NIH employ its "Government use" license authorities to grant WHO standing authority to contract for the production of Government-supported inventions so as to make anti-AIDS drugs available for less cost than offered by pharmaceutical manufacturers would put the current system at risk without necessarily resulting in greater accessibility to these drugs. I am also troubled by the implications of the NIH intervening on behalf of sovereign foreign governments in a situation in which many of those governments have the authority to achieve the same result and in which U.S. intervention on this matter has not been requested.

Varmus is getting any work done this summer. Ever since May 5, when he posted his idea for an electronic publishing site titled "E-biomed," the energetic Nobel Laureate has been getting an earful of comments from interested scientists, concerned commercial and nonprofit scientific publishers, and the scientific and general media. Varmus: forging ahead Varmus, of course, is not shy about giving as good as he gets, and that's just what he did late last month at two forums. The first was held at the National Academy of Sciences To understand why this proposal has riled so many people, one must first understand what Varmus has suggested in "E-biomed: A Proposal for Electronic Publications in the Biomedical Sciences" (http://www.nih.gov/welcome/director/ebiomed/ebiomed.htm).
