Here's a great article about Doctor I. Bernard Weinstein, a Cancer Pioneer.

Thirty Five Years in the Battlefield Against Cancer

(November, 2008) - With deep affection, the National Foundation for Cancer Research honors and remembers NFCR Fellow, I. Bernard ?Bernie? Weinstein, M.D., for the commitment and passion he brought to unlocking the mysteries of cancer. Dr. Weinstein died Monday, November 3, 2008 after experiencing kidney failure.

Dr. Weinstein was a visionary and an inspiration to many in cancer research. A vital part of the National Foundation for Cancer Research for nearly thirty years, Dr. Weinstein pioneered the fields of molecular carcinogenesis, preventive oncology, and molecular epidemiology, earning the admiration and respect of the scientific community. Credited for helping shape the new frontier of cancer genomics and therapeutics with his theory of oncogene addiction, Dr. Weinstein discovered what many have called the ?Achilles Heal? of cancer. His pioneering research gave rise to targeted cancer therapies, a new approach to treating cancer which is offering new hope and promise to cancer patients.
