LA JOLLA, CA\u2014The Salk Institute is pleased to announce that faculty member Greg Lemke<\/a> has been named the inaugural holder of the Fran\u00e7oise Gilot-Salk Chair, in recognition of his significant research accomplishments and scientific leadership.\n<\/p>\n

\nFerring Pharmaceuticals, a global, specialty biopharmaceuticals company that recently donated $10 million to provide funding for the highest research priorities at the Salk Institute, established the endowed chair in honor of Fran\u00e7oise Gilot-Salk \u2013the internationally acclaimed artist and the widow of Dr. Jonas Salk.\n<\/p>\n

\n“Selecting Greg as the recipient of this chair is further acknowledgement of his exceptional scientific accomplishments” said Salk president William R. Brody. “He epitomizes the Salk Institute’s legacy of excellence and innovation and I congratulate him on this well-deserved recognition”\n<\/p>\n

\nLemke, a professor in the Molecular Neurobiology Laboratory, is renowned for his distinguished contributions to understanding the roles that receptor tyrosine kinase (RTK) pathways play in regulating nervous system development and immune system function. The endowment will help support his research on the role that TAM receptors play in immune regulation. These receptors, which were discovered in Lemke’s lab, are central inhibitors of the innate immune response to bacteria, viruses, and other pathogens. Diminished activity of the TAM system is associated with systemic Lupus, Multiple Sclerosis, Rheumatoid Arthritis and other human inflammatory syndromes, while activation of the TAMs facilitates virus infection.\n<\/p>\n

\nLemke is currently investigating agents that either activate or inhibit TAM receptor signaling to develop new therapeutic approaches to the treatment of human autoimmune diseases and viral infections.\n<\/p>\n
