SUMMARY:Dr. Tony Hunter\, American Cancer Society Professor\, Molecular and Cell Biology Laboratory\, Renato Dulbecco Chair
DESCRIPTION:Tony Hunter\, PhD\, is a Salk scientist and American Cancer Society Professor. \nDr. Hunter made the seminal discovery\, more than four decades ago\, that the addition and subtraction of phosphate molecules to proteins on tyrosine\, one of the 20 amino acids\, allows cells to control when key proteins are on standby and when they are active. He went on to show that\, in cancers\, growth was switched to an always-on mode by the malfunctions of these phosphates. Since then\, his lab has led the field in understanding how chemical additions to proteins control the cell cycle and growth. Dr. Hunter uses cutting-edge molecular\, genetic and cell biology techniques to probe how these programs interact with each other\, what effect they have on cells and how cancers disrupt them to encourage uninhibited growth. Already\, cancer drugs—such as the leukemia therapy Gleevec™—have been designed based on Hunter’s discoveries. Gleevec turns off an enzyme that normally adds  phosphates to tyrosines in proteins\, thus preventing cancers from growing. As Hunter continues to discover other ways in which cells use chemical additions to proteins to control their growth\, he aims to find potential therapeutic targets for cancers. \nDr. Hunter will talk about his major discovery that led to the drug\, Gleevec and the research he is currently conducting through his NCI Outstanding Investigator Award\, which supports accomplished leaders in cancer research.

SUMMARY:Michael W. McConnell-Solving Homelessness in San Diego
DESCRIPTION:Solving Homelessness in San Diego\nWhat will it take? \nSan Diego has added tens of millions of new dollars annually on trying to reduce homelessness with little success to show for it.

Opportunities to make progress are there if we are willing to act with a sense of urgency and take advantage of them. \nGuest speaker Michael McConnell is a recognized leader in the fight to solve homelessness. He has served on multiple homelessness advisory committees\, including having served as vice chair on the Regional Task Force on the Homeless.\nA thought leader on the topic\, he’s presented at conferences across the country\, including the National Alliance to End Homelessness Conference. He has organized regional summits and is a regular presence at community meetings. \nPreviously\, McConnell was a member of San Diego Grantmakers’ Homelessness Working Group and helped established Funders Together to End Homelessness San Diego – a local representative of a national collaborative of philanthropists and grantmakers that combine resources to actively end homelessness. \nSince 2009\, McConnell has directed his philanthropy and volunteer time to solving homelessness.
