		Randy Schekman is a professor in the department of molecular and cell biology at the University of California at Berkeley.
		Schekman: Biochemically, by enzyme activity, we could tell that secretory enzymes were accumulating inside the cell and it was a temperature sensitive growth mutant.
		Schekman: This is of course an important question because a lot of students come to me and I think they have the impression that it's spent, you know, that it's now a mature subject and there aren't new opportunities.

		The key insight by Schekman and graduate student Peter Novick, now a professor at Yale University, was that the best way to track down genes involved in the secretion pathway was to look for mutant yeast that die, since the pathway is critical to the life of the cell.
		Schekman admits that his once isolated research niche is now crowded, in part because his research opened up many new avenues for exploration.
		Schekman's daughter, Lauren, is a junior majoring in economics at UC Berkeley.

		Randy Schekman, Ph.D. Dr. Schekman is also Professor of Molecular and Cell Biology at the University of California, Berkeley, and Adjunct Professor of Biochemistry and Biophysics at the University of California, San Francisco.
		Schekman is a member of the National Academy of Sciences and the American Academy of Arts and Sciences.
		Randy Schekman’s research is focused on the process of membrane assembly, vesicular transport, and membrane fusion among organelles of the secretory pathway.

	UC biologist wins prestigious award / Lasker recipients often go on to win Nobel
		Schekman has known for years that he was on a short list for such a prize, but has tried to keep it in perspective.
		Schekman is a professor of biochemistry and cell biology as well as an investigator for the Howard Hughes Medical Institutes, which funds research at universities throughout the nation.
		Schekman said he is frustrated that the Bush administration has limited research of embryonic stem cells, which he believes could be coaxed into producing dopamine producing cells and transplanted safely into humans.

	Randy Schekman Receives Lasker Award
		Schekman, 53, a professor of molecular and cell biology at the University of California, Berkeley, and an investigator in the Howard Hughes Medical Institute, will share the 2002 Lasker Award for Basic Medical Research with James E. Rothman of the Sloan-Kettering Institute in New York City, the Lasker Foundation announced today (Sunday, Sept. 22).
		Schekman and Rothman separately mapped out one of the body's critical networks, the system in all cells that shuttles hormones and enzymes out and adds to the cell surface so it can grow and divide.
		In what some thought was a foolish decision, Schekman decided in 1976, when he first joined the College of Letters and Science at UC Berkeley, to explore this system in yeast.

	The Lasker Foundation \| Awards \| 2002 Winners
		Randy began his career at Berkeley, where biochemistry was dominated by Daniel Koshland, himself a Lasker awardee, and a firm believer in the power of biochemistry to unlock all mysteries.
		Schekman was young, and like Rothman he had an idea and the courage to try it out.
		Rothman's grandfather was the village rabbi, a flamboyant orator, and Schekman's grandfather was the tailor.

		Schekman describes Kornberg as "demanding and with the highest standards that you can imagine," whose approach was to "define a problem worthy of study, pick the simplest system in which one can study that problem, and unremittingly attack it." This experience committed Schekman to the reductionist approach.
		Schekman recalls, "you could see in the electron microscope cells that looked like they had measles because they were filled with vesicles." Schekman's work for many years to come would be to clone these yeast genes, but most of the sequences were not instructive.
		Schekman continues to be impressed that the Society "brings young people in at the very earliest stages of their careers." He recognized early that "this is a Society that is doing important things not just for cell biology but for science." Schekman served on Council from 1991-1994, and was elected President for 1999.

	News in the College of Letters and Science, UC Berkeley
		This year, Cell and Developmental Biology Professor Randy Schekman from the Department of Molecular and Cell Biology garnered this high honor for his work in understanding how cells transport proteins beyond their membrane walls to communicate with other cells.
		Exploring secretion from a genetic perspective, Randy Schekman knew that yeast cells exposed to chemicals that cause mutations may acquire genetic abnormalities that would compromise secretion and lead to the cell's death.
		Through this technique, Schekman and his colleagues were able to identify 21 more genes responsible for secretion, as well as the specific order in which the steps in secretion were achieved.

		Randy Schekman, a pioneer in vesicle studies at the University of California, Berkeley.
		According to Schekman, “the structure reveals the mechanism by which the complex anchors to the ER membrane and how its curvature might impart curvature to the membrane; and in doing so initiate the shape change that accompanies vesicle budding.”
		“We suspect — and it is a model that Randy Schekman put forward several years ago — that the COPII coat is selecting many of the proteins directly,” said Goldberg.

		Genetics is the key to understanding the role that coat proteins play in sorting and packaging protein cargo for transport, said Randy Schekman, chair of the Department of Molecular and Cell Biology at the University of California, Berkeley, during the biennial Fawcett Lecture at HMS on May 28.
		Schekman studies protein secretion in test tubes, reconstituting the elements of the budding reaction in the yeast Saccharomyces cerevisiae to see how vesicles dock, fuse, and deliver their proteins.
		These genes could be turned on and off by altering the temperature, thereby stopping at will the transport of proteins from the cytosol into the endoplasmic reticulum, the sorting of proteins within the Golgi, and the transport of secretory vesicles to the plasma membrane.

		The center is also close to leasing off-campus lab space to set up its operations, according to Randy Schekman, chairman of the tentatively named Berkeley Human Stem Cell Center.
		The Berkeley center is seeking funding from the university to hire a scientist familiar with cell and developmental biology to help craft funding proposals, and Schekman said he is confident the group will secure the funding.
		Schekman said the university is interviewing a prospective faculty member who is training at the Salk Institute in La Jolla and wants to remain in California because of the promise of Prop.

		Schekman's own research on the development of membranes in cells bearing nuclei won him a Lasker Foundation award, commonly a precursor to the Nobel Prize.
		Schekman not only oversees all life sciences at Cal, but also is working to determine how mutant forms of a protein called presenilin-1 contribute to the pathology of Alzheimer's.
		It's known that the deviant presenilins lead to the creation of protein fragments called peptides that accumulate in plaques in the brains of Alzheimer's patients.

		Randy Schekman, a Berkeley cell researcher, says that by helping Parkinson's patients through therapeutic cloning, "you might have the possibility of using their own genetic material to replace dead cells in the brain that aren't producing dopamine.
		So, it's not a question, then, of reproducing the whole organism...you're going right to the problem source, a small number of cells in a tissue of the brain in the case of Parkinson's, or a small piece of the pancreas in the case of diabetic patients, and simply engineering the production of those few cells.
		We rarely think of the abortion issue in terms of a spectrum of possible positions, yet aren't the zygotean and infanticidist position really the two farthest ends of a nine-month spectrum?
