Daniel W. Drell recently joined Benjamin Barnhart and Marvin Stodolsky on the Human Genome Program staff of the DOE Office of Health and Environmental Research in Washington, D.C. His responsibilities as Biologist will include physical mapping and cDNA technologies; postdoctoral training programs; and ethical, legal, educational, and social issues in the use of data generated by genome research. He will also work with the NIH-DOE Joint Working Group on the Mouse and as liaison this summer to the NIH National Center for Human Genome Research.
Drell, an honor graduate from Harvard College with a B.A. in biology, received his Ph.D. in immunology from the University of Alberta in Edmonton, Canada. He held postdoctoral positions at Sloan Kettering Institute, Rockefeller University, and Baylor College of Medicine. Drell then worked as a Staff Fellow in the Laboratory of Oral Medicine, NIH National Institute of Dental Research. He comes to DOE from the HLA Laboratory of the American Red Cross, after having served 2 years as Assistant Professor of Medicine at George Washington University Medical Center and Associate Director of its immunogenetics and immunochemistry laboratories.
Drell's past research has been in transplantation immunogenetics and tolerance and hybridoma production to a variety of antigens, including early mouse embryonic antigens, rabbit zona pellucida antigens, and antigens of human tumors. More recently, he has done research on the immunology of Type I diabetes mellitus and has worked on molecular biological methods of HLA- tissue typing.

The Human Genome Project (HGP) was an international 13-year effort, 1990 to 2003. Primary goals were to discover the complete set of human genes and make them accessible for further biological study, and determine the complete sequence of DNA bases in the human genome. See Timeline for more HGP history.
Published from 1989 until 2002, this newsletter facilitated HGP communication, helped prevent duplication of research effort, and informed persons interested in genome research.
