He currently serves as an active faculty member at the University of California, San Francisco.
Working with Varmus in the 1980s, he discovered the first human oncogene, c-Src.
Their findings showed how malignant tumors are formed from changes to the normal genes of a cell.
These changes can be produced by viruses, by radiation, or by exposure to some chemicals.
Harold Eliot Varmus (born  December 18, 1939) is an American scientist.
He is the 14th and current Director of the National Cancer Institute.

Chemical synapses are synapses that use chemical messengers called neurotransmitters to transmit signals.
They are found all over the body.
Especially in the central nervous system and the brain.
Neurons use electrical signals to carry information.
These signals are called action potentials.
There are an estimated 86 billion neurons in the average human brain.
Neurons don't act alone.
They need to connect to other neurons and pass messages between each other.
The electrical signal cannot pass the gap between neurons alone.
This is why neurotransmitters are needed to pass signals from one neuron to the next.
In this sense they differ from electrical synapses which pass electric signals directly to the next neuron.
Chemical synapses can be further classified depending upon function and structure.
The pre-synaptic terminal is usually on the axon.
This releases neurotransmitters into the synaptic cleft.
The pre-synaptic terminal is the first part of synaptic transmission and so has a "pre-" prefix.
The synaptic membrane of the post-synaptic cell is usually on the dendrite of the next neuron.
This absorbs neurotransmitters into the post-synaptic neuron (the neuron that is receiving the signal).
The post-synaptic cell is the last part of the transmission process and so has a "post-" suffix.
The synaptic cleft is the bit in the middle of the two membranes.
This space is filled with an extracellular (extra- = outside of.
cellular = live cell.)
matrix of proteins that mainly acts to hold the two neurons together.
Two types of chemical synapse
Type I synapses are the more common chemical synapse in the human brain.
These synapses excite (trigger) the next neuron.
The next neuron produces an action potential when this synaptic transmission happens.
These synapses are usually found on dendrites of the post-synaptic cell.
The pre-synaptic terminal is found on the axon of the neuron that sends the transmission (pre-synaptic cell).
Type I synapses are symmetrical in shape.
Type II synapses are less common in the human brain.
These synapses are asymmetrical in shape.
They inhibit.
Instead of causing an action potential in the next neuron, these synapses stop an action potential.
They are less common than type I synapses.

It was discovered in November 2013 by mapping gamma-ray bursts.
They are very luminous explosions of distant, massive stars, the most powerful explosions in the universe.
A typical burst releases more energy in less than a tenth of a second than the Sun will in its whole life of 10 billion years.
Gamma-ray bursts are very rare: only one happens in a typical galaxy every few million years.
The stars which cause these explosions are very massive, so the material required for them to be formed must be in great amounts.
So, these explosions can be used to track down if there is a galaxy in that direction, or there is a large group of matter in there.
Between the years of 1997 to 2012, astronomers mapped these bursts in the sky, with the help of the robotic satellites Swift and Fermi which looks for gamma-ray bursts and measures their redshifts.
In the map they produced, they noticed something interesting; 14 gamma-ray bursts have very similar redshifts and are very close to each other.
This means that there is a very large group of galaxies and matter in the region.
They say, from measuring these bursts, comes up with a very large structure measuring 10 billion light-years in diameter.
For comparison, the Milky Way, the galaxy we live in, measures only 200,000 light-years, and the distance from the Milky Way to the Andromeda Galaxy measures only 2.5 million light-years.
The Huge-LQG (the Huge Large Quasar Group), the previous largest structure in the universe, is 4 billion light-years long.
The discovery of the Hercules–Corona Borealis Great Wall contradicts a theory proposed by Albert Einstein known as the cosmological principle.
The cosmological principle says that the entire universe is approximately equal; any two regions in the universe will look very similar, even if those two regions are very far apart, assuming those regions have sizes larger than 250 to 300 million light-years.
Maximum sizes of structures must be around 1.2 billion light-years based on the meaning above, and no structure must be larger than that, assuming that matter is spread equally from the Big Bang.
However, the structure, is eight times larger than the limit, contradicting the cosmological principle.
The structure also contradicts theories about the evolution of the universe.
The structure is 10 billion light-years away, which means that we see the structure 10 billion years ago, when the universe is only 13.8 billion years old, and its light was just approaching us.
The 3.8 billion year span of time is too short for a giant structure 10 billion light-years long to form.
Even Istvan Horvath, the discoverer of the structure, says he has no idea how the structure has formed in that amount of time.
For now, the existence of the structure is still a mystery for cosmologists.
Another idea says that the idea of the Big Bang might be proven false as a result of this incredible cosmic structure.

Academic art was an artistic style that was popular from the 17th to the 19th century.
