Genetic Variation of the Androgen Receptor: From Gene Regulation to Prostate Cancer

Track : TRANSLATIONAL

Program Code: L6-1

Date: Monday, June 6, 2011

Time: 5:30 PM to 6:00 PM EST

Location: Grand Ballroom

SPEAKER :

Diane M Robins, PHD, Univ of Michigan Med Sch
Disclosure: Nothing to Disclose

Diane M. Robins (Didi) obtained her B.S. from Yale (1973) and Ph.D. from Stanford (1978). Her dissertation on hormonal control of gene expression in chick oviduct was on the frontier of molecular endocrinology. In postdoctoral studies at Columbia University, she used gene transfer to define steroid hormone response elements, and as an Assistant Professor in Biological Sciences, developed the mouse sex-limited protein (Slp) gene as a genetic model system to study androgen regulation. In 1990, Dr. Robins moved to the University of Michigan and is now a Professor in Human Genetics. Her lab has two main areas of interest: 1) the role of androgen receptor in prostate cancer using cell and mouse models, and 2) the role of KRAB zinc finger repressors in sex-dependent aspects of metabolism and reproduction. Dr. Robins� awards include NSF and Jane Coffin Childs Fellowships, a NSF ADVANCE Award from the University of Michigan and a departmental teaching award. She is on several Editorial Boards, including Molecular Endocrinology and Steroids. She has been a member and Chair of numerous study sections, including those for the American Cancer Society, the NIH and the Department of Defense, and served on the Board of Scientific Counselors of the National Toxicology Program. She is active on Endocrine Society committees and was the Basic Science Chair for Endo 2010. She has served on numerous University committees, including those for Promotion and Tenure and the Medical School Dean�s Executive Committee, and is Director of Graduate Studies in Human Genetics at U-M.
