Arnold Jay Levine (born 1939), is an American
He is currently Professor Emeritus of Systems Biology at the Institute for Advanced Study in Princeton, New Jersey.[2]
Career
Levine received his Ph.D. from the University of Pennsylvania in 1966.[3]
Levine discovered, with several colleagues, the
In 1998 Levine became the Robert and Harriet Heilbrunn Professor of Cancer Biology and president of Rockefeller University.[4] In 2002, Levine resigned the presidency following allegations that he had an inappropriate sexual encounter with a female graduate student, while both were intoxicated. According to the woman involved, the encounter was consensual and blown out of proportion.[5][6]
In 2002 he was appointed professor at The Cancer Institute of New Jersey in New Brunswick, New Jersey, then a part of the Robert Wood Johnson Medical School. Simultaneous to this appointment, in 2003, Levine became a visiting professor, then professor, in the newly created Simons Center for Systems Biology at the Institute for Advanced Study (IAS) in Princeton, New Jersey, where he has remained since.[7]
In 2017, Levine, with collaborators Benjamin Greenbaum, and Marta Luksza, developed the first mathematical model for predicting patient response to immunotherapy.[8] Their recent work extends to studying immune resistance mechanisms and patterns of evolution.[9]
