About the speaker

Prof Roeland Nusse received his BSc in Biology in 1975 and his PhD in Molecular Biology in 1980 from the University of Amsterdam. After his postdoctoral fellowship at the University of California at San Francisco, Prof Nusse joined the Netherlands Cancer Institute in 1982 expanding on the earlier work on the Wnt pathway and identifying the pathway in fruit flies. He joined Stanford University in 1990 and is currently the Virginia and Daniel K. Ludwig Professor in Cancer Research and Professor in Developmental Biology. He has also been the Investigator of Howard Hughes Medical Institute since 1994.

Prof Nusse's research focused on signaling between cells during normal development and in cancer. From initially being interested in breast cancer in mouse models, He had made contributions to the fields of developmental biology, cancer, Drosophila embryogenesis and growth factors. His current research has contributed to discoveries of links between cancer and normal stem cell growth, and Wnt proteins are now known as major self-renewal signals for cancer stem cells.

Prof Nusse received the Peter Debye Prize from the University of Maastricht in 2000. He was elected a member of the US National Academy of Sciences (2010), the American Academy of Arts and Sciences (2001), the Royal Dutch Academy of Sciences (1997) and European Molecular Biology Organization (1988).
