		Rowley's career was very much affected by her parents' early encouragement and her experience at the "Four Year College." While in medical school, she had several female professors who served as role models.
		Rowley remembers the excitement she felt when noticing that there appeared to be extra material on one of the copies of chromosome 9 in the leukemic cells of patients with chronic myeloid leukemia and whose cells had the Philadelphia chromosome.
		Rowley is fortunate to see that her work is benefiting humanity in her lifetime, as well as establishing a legacy for the future.

	University of Chicago Hospitals: Janet Rowley of University of Chicago selected for President Bush's bioethics council
		Janet Davison Rowley, MD, the Blum-Riese Distinguished Service Professor of Medicine and of Molecular Genetics and Cell Biology at the University of Chicago Medical Center, has been selected as one of 17 members of President Bush's Council on Bioethics, formed to advise the President on issues of scientific and ethical policy.
		Rowley, 76, was educated and has spent her entire professional career at the University of Chicago, where she has meticulously demonstrated that specific types of cancer are caused by specific alterations of chromosomes.
		Rowley insists that her discoveries depended heavily on the help of many others--scientific colleagues, the oncologists taking care of the patients, the pathologists who helped to establish a precise diagnosis, and most of all the patients.

	The Journal Editorial Report \| PBS \| July 15, 2005
		Geneticist Dr. Janet Rowley is a professor in the Department of Genetics at the University of Chicago and a member of the President's Council of Bioethics.
		JANET ROWLEY: A stem cell is a very primitive cell that can differentiate into many different kinds of cells.
		ROWLEY: At the present time, umbilical cord blood stem cells have not been able to differentiate into other types of cells than blood cells and so they would have an even more limited potential than some of the cells that have been used from adults.

		Rowley will review the progress made in the microscopic analysis of chromosomes from standard Giemsa Stains in the 1950's and 1960's to banding techniques in the 1970's and now the latest techniques that label each chromosome with a unique combination of fluorochromes.
		Janet Rowley, promptly declared herself to be a rather non-technical person with respect to microscopes and then proceeded to dazzle the attentive audience with a colorful series of fluorescence microscopy images.
		Rowley is a pioneer in leukemia research at the University of Chicago and has long probed the issues surrounding the genetic changes which occur when cells metamorphose from ordinary healthy cells to cancer cells.

	University of Chicago Hospitals: Janet Rowley, MD, wins1998 Lasker Award
		Janet Davison Rowley, MD, the Blum-Riese Distinguished Service Professor of Medicine and of Molecular Genetics and Cell Biology at the University of Chicago Medical Center, was awarded the Albert Lasker Clinical Medicine Research Prize for 1998.
		Rowley will share the award for clinical research with: Peter Nowell, MD, professor of pathology and laboratory medicine at the University of Pennsylvania; and Alfred Knudson, MD, PhD, former president of the Fox Chase Cancer Center in Philadelphia.
		Rowley and her colleagues subsequently identified several other chromosome translocations that were characteristic of specific malignancies--such as the 14;18 translocation seen in follicular lymphoma and the 15;17 translocation that causes acute promyelocytic leukemia (APL).

	Cohler, Rowley receive Maclean Faculty Awards
		Janet Rowley, the Blum-Riese Distinguished Service Professor in Medicine, Molecular Genetics & Cell Biology and Human Genetics, is a pioneering researcher whose discoveries of recurring chromosomal translocations in leukemia cells transformed research on cancer and cytogenetics.
		Rowley, who is a dedicated alumna of the University now celebrating her 60th College reunion, has also contributed her time as a Biological Sciences Division Alumni Council member, College reunion volunteer and co-chair of the Hospitals 75th Anniversary Symposium.
		In 1998, President Clinton presented Rowley with the National Medal of Science, the nation’s highest scientific honor, citing the critical importance of her research as well as her application of basic discoveries to clinical practice and her leadership in the oncology and biomedical communities.

	The University of Chicago Magazine: October 2001, Research
		Rowley was the first biologist to give credence to the theory, now proven, that chronic myeloid leukemia, or CML, is genetic and caused when chromosomes within a white blood cell trade places.
		Rowley theorized that the chromosome breaks and the abnormal joining of 9 and 22 must somehow cause CML-rather than being caused by it, as most physicians believed.
		Although in 1972 Rowley was unable to explain why the trading of genetic material makes white blood cells go haywire, she had provided the map for other investigators.

	University of Chicago Experts Guide: Janet Rowley
		Rowley's laboratory focuses on understanding genetic changes and their functional consequences in human acute myeloid leukemia.
		This is done by mapping and cloning new chromosome translocation breakpoints and by analyzing the genomic structure of breakpoints in common translocations.
		Rowley has used SAGE (serial analysis of gene expression) to identify the patterns of gene expression in cells from leukemia patients with common translocations.

		ROWLEY: But, Frank - - I mean - - I don't think that is really relevant, because the drug companies after all are able to incorporate the cost of drug development in the cost of the drugs, and I am not aware that any drug company is on the street bankrupt at this point.
		ROWLEY: As a point of information, Carter, I have been told by individuals with whom I have been discussing this matter that there is in fact a Federal website that is devoted to information about ART, and it is my impression that this is the only Federally funded site on any medical procedure.
		ROWLEY: Well, in line with my earlier comments, and so I recognize what Dan is saying, I think that we should be more cognizant of the fact that most of the physicians and scientists working in ART are in fact committed to ethical practices, and are responsible individuals.

		Rowley is being honored for showing that abnormal rearrangements -- or translocations -- and breaks in chromosomes can cause cancer in humans.
		Janet D. Rowley: "The attitude that chromosome studies in luekiemia [are] as esoteric part of science and not very important for our understanding of cancer has changed substantially.
		In 1981, Rowley and her colleagues started to map where the translocations occurred on chromosomes.

		Janet said, "What if you are trying to copy a loved child who now has a terminal illness?" Well, that is different from trying to copy a sex goddess or a basketball star because you want your child to look like them.
		ROWLEY: She would carry it but by cloning she has no genetic contribution to that child and that may change the situation.
		And perhaps, as Janet indicated, maybe the central concept should be the assault on dignity, as Paul also suggested, as perhaps the central theme.
