The Jak-STAT Pathway: 20 Years from Discovery to Drugs
NIAMS, NHLBI and NIDDK recently co-sponsored The Jak-STAT Pathway: 20 Years from Discovery to Drugs. The event celebrated the 20th year of Jak-STAT research, highlighting recent basic developments in the field, relevance to diseases and new therapeutics. The pathway has become a paradigm in signal transduction, but has also shed light on a number of diseases ranging from immunodeficiencies to hematological malignancies. The 3-day meeting convened an international team of industry, academic and government scientists who focused on the translational advances that have arisen from the basic discoveries of the Jak-STAT pathway. Organizers included (from l) Dr. James Darnell, Rockefeller University; Dr. Richard Jove, City of Hope; Dr. Lothar Hennighausen, NIDDK; Dr. John O’Shea, NIAMS; Dr. David Levy, NYU; and Dr. Warren Leonard, NHLBI.
