 US Bazaar.com : Encyclopedia Pages : Renato Dulbecco
Renato Dulbecco (born February 22, 1914) is an Italian-born virologist.
Dulbecco and his group demonstrated that the infection of normal cells with certain types of viruses (oncoviruses) led to the incorporation of virus-derived genes into the host-cell genome, and that this event lead to the transformation (the acquisition of a tumor phenotype) of those cells.
Dulbecco's study gave us the basis for precise understanding of the molecular mechanisms by which they propagate, thus allowing us to better fight them.

Renato Dulbecco was one of the pioneers who launched this project, as he believed the sequence of DNA would solve a great many problems of mankind.

The three were recognized for research that led to the identification of the enzyme reverse transcriptase, which allows a molecule of RNA from a cancer-causing virus to change into DNA (thus reversing the normal sequence of information flow) and then splice itself to the DNA of a host cell.
Renato Dulbecco shared the 1975 Nobel Prize in Physiology or Medicine with Howard Temin and David Baltimore “for their discoveries concerning the interaction between tumour viruses and the genetic material of the cell.”;
Dulbecco was born in Italy, where he graduated from the University of Torino, receiving his medical degree in 1936.

 CSHL: Symposia on Quantitative Biology
The ability to grow viruses in animal cells in culture had transformed the field, producing large amounts of virus for physical and chemical analysis, as well as providing a dynamic system for the analysis of the virus life cycle.
Dulbecco marvelled that not only was it possible to devote a whole symposium to viruses, but also that "...the experiments reported are as sophisticated as those obtained in any other field of biology..."
One was a short, one-page document by Caspar, Dulbecco, Klüg, Lwoff, Stoker, Tournier and Wildy proposing and defining a set of terms for use in virology.

 The Daily Transcript: Renato Dulbecco Interview
Dulbecco, a protege of Giuseppe Levi, moved to Salvador Luria's Lab at the University of Indiana in 1947.
Dulbecco's work caught the attention of the great Max Delbruck who invited Dulbecco to join his lab at Caltech.
His work (and that of his student, Howard Temin and his collaborator, David Baltimore) on Rous Sarcoma Virus and SV40, led to a Nobel prize for "the interaction between tumour viruses and the genetic material of the cell".
