"And what have kings that privates have not too, Save ceremony, save general ceremony?" William Shakespeare, in Henry the Fifth, IV. My youth held little forecast of a career in biomedical research. I was born on February 22, 1936, in York, Pennsylvania, and spent my childhood in a rural area on the west bank of the Susquehanna River. Those years were pastoral in two regards: I saw little of metropolitan life until I was past the age of twenty-one; and my youth was permeated with the concerns of my father's occupation as a Lutheran minister, tending to two small parishes. My most tangible legacy from then is a passion for music, sired by the liturgy of the church, fostered by my parents through piano, organ and vocal lessons. I am deeply grateful for the legacy, albeit apostate from the church. I obtained eight years of elementary education in a two-room school, where I encountered a stern but engaging teacher who awakened my intellect with instruction that would seem rigorous today in many colleges. History figured large in the curriculum, exciting for me what was to become an enduring interest. But I heard little of science, and what I did hear was exemplified by the collection and pressing of wild flowers. My high school was also small: eighty students graduated with me, few of whom eventually completed college. Tests conducted before I graduated predicted a future for me in journalism, forestry or the teaching of music; persons who know me well could recognize some truth in those seemingly errant prognoses.

Bishop, J. Michael, in full JOHN MICHAEL BISHOP (b. Feb. 22, 1936, York, Pa., U.S.), American virologist and co-winner (with Harold Varmus ) of the Nobel Prize for Physiology or Medicine in 1989 for achievements in clarifying the origins of cancer. Bishop graduated from Gettysburg College (Pa.) in 1957 and from Harvard Medical School in 1962. After spending two years in internship and residency at Massachusetts General Hospital, Boston, he became a researcher in virology at the National Institutes of Health, Bethesda, Md. In 1968 he joined the faculty of the University of California Medical Center in San Francisco, becoming a full professor in 1972. From 1981 he also served as director of the university's George F. Hooper Research Foundation. In 1970 Bishop teamed up with Varmus, and they set out to test the theory that healthy body cells contain dormant viral oncogenes that, when triggered, cause cancer. Working with the Rous sarcoma virus, known to cause cancer in chickens, Bishop and Varmus found that a gene similar to the cancer-causing gene within the virus was also present in healthy cells. In 1976 Bishop and Varmus, together with two colleaguesDominique Stehelin and Peter Vogtpublished their findings, concluding that the virus had taken up the gene responsible for the cancer from a normal cell. After the virus had infected the cell and begun its usual process of replication, it incorporated the gene into its own genetic material. Subsequent research showed that such genes can cause cancer in several ways. Even without viral involvement, these genes can be converted by certain chemical carcinogens into a form that allows uncontrolled cellular growth.

February 16, 1998 New chancellor named for UC San Francisco J. Michael Bishop By Rick Malaspina UC Office of the President Nobel laureate J. Michael Bishop, one of the world's foremost medical researchers and a leading advocate for science education and increased public investment in scientific research, was named chancellor of the University of California's San Francisco campus earlier this month. Acting on the recommendation of UC President Richard C. Atkinson, the UC Board of Regents appointed Bishop, a longtime member of the UCSF faculty, during a meeting conducted by teleconference. The appointment is effective July 1. Bishop, 61, will become the eighth person to lead UCSF in its 134-year history. It is the only one of UC's nine campuses devoted exclusively to the health sciences. "I am delighted that Dr. Bishop will serve as UCSF's next chancellor," Atkinson said. "He brings to the position international renown and a sterling record of accomplishment in research. He also is an inspirational and award-winning teacher, an eloquent spokesman for the university, and a highly effective fundraiser. Dr. Bishop's unique strengths and insight assure that UCSF will continue to excel as one of the world's premier health sciences centers." Regents' Chairman Meredith J. Khachigian said of Bishop, "His extraordinary academic and scientific credentials, combined with his exuberance and affinity for UCSF and the San Francisco community, make him an outstanding leader for this stellar campus."

A family physician spawned Bishop's interest in medicine. During his first two years of medical school, Bishop realized that his scientific interests were in research. He was fortunate to have a mentor, Leon Levintow, who recognized his talents and offered him a faculty position at the University of California at San Francisco. Bishop forged a scientific partnership with Harold Varmus, a colleague at U.C.S.F., and together they identified a large family of genes that has been implicated in the genesis of cancer. Their research has had significant influence on contemporary knowledge about tumor development and the systems that govern cell growth. Bishop is a professor in the departments of microbiology and immunology and biochemistry and biophysics at the University of California at San Francisco. He became the eighth chancellor of U.C.S.F. in 1998. Additional Links Biography - Nobel e-Museum Autobiography of J. Michael Bishop, M.D. - U.C.S.F.

ASCB PROFILE J. Michael Bishop Mike Bishop was educated in a two-room school house in rural Pennsylvania. The son of a minister, he excelled in school. However, he knew little of science and was captivated by history, an interest he continues to cultivate. While in high school, Bishop's curiosity about medicine and science were stimulated by the family physician. He entered Gettysburg College and majored in chemistry, with the hope of entering medical school. Bishop was engrossed by many subjects and imagined himself a historian, a philosopher, or a novelist. But never, he insists, a scientist. Bishop entered Harvard Medical School in 1957 with little interest in practicing medicine, hoping instead to become a professor. At Harvard, he discovered that the road to an academic career in the biomedical sciences was paved with research, something that he was not well prepared to pursue. Nonetheless, Bishop developed an increasing fascination with research, thanks to classmates John Menninger and Howard Berg. When he tried to find summer work in a neurobiology laboratory, however, he was turned down for lack of experience. Uncertain about his future in medicine, Bishop accepted an offer for a year of independent study with Edgar Taft in the Department of Pathology, chaired by Benjamin Castleman. During this time, he read a great deal on what was becoming a new passion for Bishop, molecular biology.

J. Michael Bishop , M.D., is Chancellor, University of California, San Francisco. How to Win the Nobel Prize An Unexpected Life in Science J. Michael Bishop In 1989 Michael Bishop and Harold Varmus were awarded the Nobel Prize for their discovery that normal genes under certain conditions can cause cancer. In this book, Bishop tells us how he and Varmus made their momentous discovery. More than a lively account of the making of a brilliant scientist, How to Win the Nobel Prize is also a broader narrative combining two major and intertwined strands of medical history: the long and ongoing struggles to control infectious diseases and to find and attack the causes of cancer. Alongside his own story, that of a youthful humanist evolving into an ambivalent medical student, an accidental microbiologist, and finally a world-class researcher, Bishop gives us a fast-paced and engrossing tale of the microbe hunters. It is a narrative enlivened by vivid anecdotes about our deadliest microbial enemiesthe Black Death, cholera, syphilis, tuberculosis, malaria, smallpox, HIVand by biographical sketches of the scientists who led the fight against these scourges. Bishop then provides an introduction for nonscientists to the molecular underpinnings of cancer and concludes with an analysis of many of today's most important science-related controversiesranging from stem cell research to the attack on evolution to scientific misconduct.

July 6, 2000 President William Jefferson Clinton The White House 1600 Pennsylvania Avenue, NW Washington, DC 20502 Dear Mr. President: We urge you not to make the decision to deploy an anti-ballistic missile system during the remaining months of your administration. The system would offer little protection and would do grave harm to this nation's core security interests. We and other independent scientists have long argued that anti-ballistic missile systems, particularly those attempting to intercept reentry vehicles in space, will inevitably lose in an arms race of improvements to offensive missiles. North Korea has taken dramatic steps toward reconciliation with South Korea. Other dangerous states will arise. But what would such a state gain by attacking the United States except its own destruction? While the benefits of the proposed anti-ballistic missile system are dubious, the dangers created by a decision to deploy are clear. It would be difficult to persuade Russia or China that the United States is wasting tens of billions of dollars on an ineffective missile system against small states that are unlikely to launch a missile attack on the U.S. The Russians and Chinese must therefore conclude that the presently planned system is a stage in developing a bigger system directed against them. They may respond by restarting an arms race in ballistic missiles and having missiles in a dangerous "launch-on-warning" mode.
