Abstract:
This collection documents Dr. Harold Varmus' activities as a UCSF professor, research scientist, and author and editor of international repute. The teaching materials, research files, and journal club entries reflect Dr. Varmus' investigations in the field of oncogenes and retroviruses and the implications for understanding mechanisms of cancer, Hepatitis B, and the Human Immunodeficiency Virus. The correspondence files illustrate the process of bringing scientific research from experiment to manuscript and then journal article review and publication. They also reflect the increased visibility and demands of a Nobel Prize recipient (in collaboration with J. Michael Bishop of UCSF in 1989).
