Additional Information:

Dr. Witte is also Professor of Microbiology, Immunology, and Molecular Genetics at the University of California, Los Angeles, where he holds the President's Chair in Developmental Immunology, and Professor of Molecular and Medical Pharmacology at the David Geffen School of Medicine, UCLA; and Founding Director of the Institute for Stem Cell Biology and Medicine recently renamed as the Eli and Edythe Broad Center of Regenerative Medicine nad Stem Cell Research at UCLA. He received his B.S. degree from Cornell University, his M.D. degree from Stanford University, and completed his postdoctoral training at the Massachusetts Institute of Technology. Dr. Witte's honors include the Milken Foundation Award in basic cancer research, the Rosenthal Award of the American Association for Cancer Research, the Dameshek Prize from the American Society of Hematology, the Warren Alpert Foundation Prize, and the de Villiers International Achievement Award from the Leukemia and Lymphoma Society. He is a member of the American Academy of Arts and Sciences, the American Academy of Microbiology, the National Academy of Sciences, and the Institute of Medicine of the NAS. Dr. Witte was named the 2007 UCLA Faculty Research Lecturer. He currently serves on several editorial and advisory boards.
