Harold Dvorak Biography :

An expert in cancer vasculature

Dr. Harold Dvorak is the Chief of the Department of Pathology at Beth Israel Deaconess Medical Center and Mallinckrodt Professor of Pathology at Harvard Medical School. He was awarded the 2002 Rous-Whipple Award by the American Society of Investigative Pathology for his distinguished career in research. His prodigious research has produced some of pathology's fundamental contributions to the understanding of inflammation as well as of cellular immunity. He is best known for his groundbreaking work in the field of angiogenesis research, having discovered an angiogenic factor known as VPF (vascular permeability factor, now also known as vascular endothelial growth factor or VEGF) in 1983. This discovery was the first to provide a fundamental explanation for how tumors induce new blood vessel growth, and help explain how the blood vessels of malignant tumors differ from those of normal tissue with respect to organization, structure and function.
