Emmanuel Farber
Emmanuel Farber (October 19, 1918, Toronto, Canada – August 3, 2014, Columbia, South Carolina) was a Canadian-American physician, pathologist, biochemist, and oncologist. He is known for his research on the biochemistry of carcinogenesis.[1][2]
Biography
His parents emigrated from Russia to Canada and the United States. His sister Sophie became a concert pianist
Farber served on the editorial boards of several journals, including
Farber's research demonstrated that carcinogens can bind to DNA, causing specific DNA adducts that promote cancer. He and his colleagues showed that cancer can be induced in the livers of laboratory animals by a step-by-step series of chemical treatments.[10] He was the author or coauthor of over 400 scientific publications.[6]
He was elected in 1955 a fellow of the American Association for the Advancement of Science.[12] He was elected in 1980 a fellow of the Royal Society of Canada[13] and in 2013 an inaugural fellow of the Academy of the American Association for Cancer Research (AACR). He served as the AACR's president from 1972 to 1973. In 1973 he was also the president of the American Society for Experimental Pathology (which is now part of the American Society for Investigative Pathology).[1] He gave in 1982 the Rous-Whipple Award Lecture[14] and in 1984 the G.H.A. Clowes Memorial Lecture.[15] In 1995 he shared the ASIP Gold-Headed Cane Award with Paul Eston Lacy.[16]
In May 2000 Farber married Henrietta Schleider née Keller (1915–2011).[17] Upon his death in 2014 he was survived by his daughter.[10] He is buried in the Hebrew Benevolent Society Cemetery in Columbia, South Carolina.[18] His daughter Naomi married Steven E. Grosby (a professor of religion) and became a professor of social work at the University of South Carolina.[3]
