Gladstone investigator Mike McCune wins prestigious NIH Director's Pioneer Award

on of a vaccine that will prevent people from developing AIDS -- and that will also be available for use around the world."

McCune, an associate director of the General Clinical Research Center at San Francisco General Hospital, earned his medical degree from Cornell University Medical College and his doctorate in immunology and cell biology from The Rockefeller University. He completed a residency in internal medicine at UCSF and then, after a postdoctoral fellowship in pathology at Stanford, went on to found two biotechnology companies, SyStemix and Progenesys. These companies were among the first to work on hematopoietic stem cells and the application of stem cell-based gene therapy for the treatment of HIV disease.

McCune, who joined the Gladstone Institute of Virology and Immunology in 1995, has been associated with UCSF since the beginning of the AIDS epidemic, first as a resident and subsequently as a faculty member. Through these two decades, he has continued to see patients with HIV disease at the AIDS Clinic (Ward 86) at San Francisco General Hospital. He won the Elizabeth Glaser Pediatric AIDS Foundation Scientist Award in 1996, the Burroughs Wellcome Fund Clinical Scientist Award in Translational Research in 2000, and a MERIT Award from the NIH in 2001. He holds 20 patents and inventions, and has published over 120 journal articles.
