Extractions: Britannica CD Index Articles Dictionary Help (b. Feb. 22, 1914, Catanzaro, Italy), Italian virologist who shared the Nobel Prize for Physiology or Medicine in 1975 with Howard M. Temin and David Baltimore, both of whom had studied under him. Dulbecco obtained his M.D. from the University of Turin in 1936 and remained there several years as a member of its faculty. He came to the United States in 1947 and studied viruses, first with Salvador Luria at Indiana University, then at the California Institute of Technology (1949-63). He was a fellow at the Salk Institute for Biological Studies in La Jolla, Calif. (1963-72), and returned there in 1977 as a distinguished research professor after serving for five years as a director of the Imperial Cancer Research Fund in London. During his second tenure at the Salk Institute, he served also on the faculty of the medical school of the University of California at San Diego (1977-81). Dulbecco, with Marguerite Vogt, pioneered the growing of animal viruses in culture in the 1950s and investigated how certain viruses gain control of the cells they infect. They showed that polyoma virus, which produces tumours in mice, inserts its DNA into the DNA of the host cell. The cell then undergoes transformation (a term used in this restricted sense by Dulbecco) into a cancer cell, reproducing the viral DNA along with its own and producing more cancer cells. Dulbecco suggested that human cancers could be caused by similar reproduction of foreign DNA fragments.

Extractions: Dulbecco, Renato I was born in Catanzaro, Italy, from a Calabrese mother and a Ligurian father. I stayed in that city for a short time; my father was called into the army (World War I) and we moved to the north, Cuneo and Torino. At the end of the war my father, who was in the "Genio Civile", was sent to Imperia, Liguria, where we stayed for many years. The life I remember begins at Imperia, where I went to school, including the Ginnasio-Liceo "De Amicis". What I remember most of that period, besides my family and the few friends, was the rocky beach where I spent most of my time during the summer holiday, and a small meterological observatory, where I used to spend lots of my free time throughout the year. There I developed a strong liking for physics, which I put to good use by building an electronic seismograph, probably one of the first of its kind, which actually worked. I graduated from high school at 16 (1930) and went to the University in Torino. Although I liked especially physics and mathematics for which I had considerable talent, I decided to study medicine. This profession had for me a strong emotional appeal, which was reinforced by having an uncle who was an excellent surgeon.

He worked with Rita Levi-Montalcini at the University of Turin, Salvador Luria Hermann J. Muller , and James Watson at Indiana, and at Cal-Tech. He shared the 1975 Nobel Prize for Medicine with David Baltimore and Howard M. Temin , both of whom had been his students. Father: Leonardo Dulbecco (civil engineer)

Extractions: Dulbecco, Renato (1914-), an Italian-born American virologist, shared the 1975 Nobel Prize in physiology or medicine with David Baltimore and Howard Martin Temin of the United States for their research on how certain viruses affect the genes of cancer cells. Dulbecco demonstrated how viruses could transform normal cells into cancerous cells. Dulbecco was born in Catanzaro, Italy. He decided to study medicine and received his M.D. degree in 1936 from the University of Turin. While working on his degree, he realized he was more interested in biology than in practicing medicine. So he went to work for Giuseppe Levi, a professor of anatomy. He met two students who would eventually play major roles in his life: Salvador Edward Luria and Rita Levi-Montalcini. After receiving his M.D. degree, Dulbecco served in the military as a medical officer. He was discharged in 1938 and started postdoctoral work in pathology at the University of Turin. A year later, he was called to serve in World War II (1939-1945). He was injured in Russia and hospitalized for several months before being sent home. When the German Army took over Italy, Dulbecco joined the Resistance as a physician. After the war, he took a position on the city council of the city of Turin. However, he did not enjoy political life and returned to Levi's laboratory within months. He also returned to school and took physics classes for two years.
