Paul M. Allen, PhD
Distinguished Investigator Award
P
aul M. Allen, PhD, Robert L. Kroc Professor of Pathology and
Immunology, is a pioneering investigator known internationally for his seminal contributions to the understanding of how
the immune system recognizes pathogens.
Allen’s work laid an early foundation for elucidating the process
of antigen presentation and antigen recognition by T cells. His
laboratory pioneered the notion of altered peptide ligands and their
function in T cell specificity, development, and immune responses.
“Allen discovered many of the fundamental principles of peptideMHC protein interactions and found that peptides with minor
sequence variations elicit altered signal-transduction patterns in
T cells and markedly diverse T cell responses. These findings have
changed our views on the dynamics of T cell receptor ligation,” says
Emil R. Unanue, MD, Paul and Ellen Lacy Professor of Pathology
and Immunology and former chair of the department.
In addition, Allen has applied his basic science investigations to
the important clinical areas of autoimmunity and transplantation,
including developing critical disease models for autoimmunemediated arthritis and inflammatory bowel disease.
Three of Allen’s publications have been cited more than 1000
times, placing him in the highest level of recognition. One of his
studies, co-authored with Unanue, has been selected as a Pillars of
Immunology publication by the Journal of Immunology.
Allen also leaves his mark on the field as a mentor to many
graduate students; he directed the Graduate Program in Immunology
for five years.
Allen holds prestigious MERIT status with the National
Institutes of Health and has served as president of the American
Association of Immunologists. He earned his bachelor’s, master’s,
and doctoral degrees from the University of Michigan, Ann Arbor,
receiving the latter in 1981. After a pathology research fellowship at
Harvard Medical School, he joined the Washington University
faculty in 1985.
13
Emily Cheng, MD, PhD
Distinguished Investigator Award
E
mily Cheng, MD, PhD, assistant professor of medicine and
of pathology and immunology, is recognized as an extraordinarily talented young scientist in the area of apoptosis.
Cheng earned her medical degree from Taipei Medical University
and her PhD from Johns Hopkins University. As a graduate student,
Cheng made several fundamental discoveries regarding the mechanisms by which BCL-2 family proteins regulate apoptosis. Her thesis
yielded three first-authored papers in Nature, Science, and PNAS, as
well as two co-first-authored papers in other leading journals.
After completing her clinical training in anatomic pathology,
Cheng joined the lab of the late Stanley J. Korsmeyer, MD, a
renowned cancer biologist, at Harvard Medical School. She
demonstrated that the critical step of cell death commitment
converges on BAX/BAK activation, established a model in which
anti-apoptotic BCL-2 family proteins inhibit apoptosis by sequestering BH3-only molecules, and identified a novel participant in
apoptosis, VDAC2, as a negative regulator of BAK. Cheng joined the
Washington University faculty in 2004 and remains at the forefront
of cell death research. Studies from her laboratory (1) subdivided the
BH3-only molecules into BAX/BAK “activator” or BCL-2/BCL-XL/
MCL-1 “inactivator” subgroups and established a unifying, hierarchical regulatory schema among BCL-2 subfamilies, (2) defined
DNA damage-induced programmed necrotic death, (3) demonstrated a VDAC2-BAK rheostat in controlling thymocyte survival and
negative selection, and (4) proposed a stepwise activation model of
BAX/BAK in the initiation of mitochondrial apoptosis.
Cheng’s research accomplishments have been recognized throughout her career. As a graduate student, she received the 20th Young
Investigator Award at Johns Hopkins; as a postdoctoral fellow, she
received the HHMI Physician Scientist Award and the NCI Howard
Temin Award; and as a junior faculty member, she is a Searle
Scholar, an American Cancer Society Scholar, and a member of the
American Society for Clinical Investigation.
