Abstract:
This collection consists mainly of files of research and data compiled by Dr. Harold Varmus and his group at UCSF from 1971-1984. Primary areas of inquiry are synthesis and integration of viral DNA, and replication of, and tumor induction by, animal viruses, including the Rous Sarcoma Virus. It is rich in illustrative material such as photographs, slides, graphs, and gels. Also included is correspondence with colleagues and former students during Varmus' 1978-1979 sabbatical in London. Most letters concern research progress, review of manuscripts and publications, and invitations or preparations for conferences and meetings. Varmus was active in American Cancer Society (ACS) grant review and the Virology Study section of NIH. There are a number of notes and slide materials for lectures and talks both in the U.S. and internationally.
