Professor Hyam Leffert

Section: Hepatology

Professor Leffert

Department of Pharmacology, School of Medicine, University of California at San Diego, San Diego, CA, USA

Professor Leffert attended the University of Rochester, Rochester, NY (B.A., Intellectual History, 1965), where he studied Necturus blood cells with Professor Ernst Caspari; Brandeis University, Waltham, Mass (M.A., Biology, 1967), where he reconstituted a primary immune response in vitro with Professor Gordon Sato; and the Albert Einstein College of Medicine, Bronx, NY (M.D.,1971), where he discovered a lecithinase-producing Bacillus cereus in a newborn suffering from Meningitis and bacteremia after ventriculoatrial shunt-revision (he identified the organism by its GC-base composition with Professor Julius Marmur). His internship at UCSD (La Jolla, CA, 1972) was split between Pediatrics, and Biology, where he developed selection methods to culture proliferation- and differentiation-competent primary hepatocytes for use as model systems of liver development and regeneration.

Dr. Leffert continued basic research at the Salk Institute, where, as an NCI/NIH/Damon Runyon Cancer Research Fellow and an Assistant Professor of Cell Biology, he directed liver growth control studies alongside many students, postdocs, and sabbatical visitors through 1980. Several growth factors were discovered (insulin, glucagon and epidermal growth factor; thereafter, insulin-like growth-factors IGF-I and IGF-II and TGF-α). Later studies provided molecular understanding of relationships between growth factors, regeneration and the expression and biochemistry of cyclins D1, B, A and E. Drs. Koch and Leffert, and Stewart Sell, UCSD Professor of Pathology, also observed expression of α-fetoprotein, a clinical marker of human hepatocellular carcinoma, in neonatal hepatocytes undergoing liver development in vitro and in vivo, and in normal long-term primary hepatocyte cultures simulating liver regeneration. Further work revealed that primary hepatocytes enzymatically converted chemical procarcinogens like N-Acetyl-2-Aminofluorene (AAF) into carcinogenic metabolites -- research that enabled precision drug metabolism studies by the pharmaceutical industry. In 1987, with Professor Ted Friedmann (UCSD Pediatrics), Dr. Leffert introduced genes into hepatocytes using retroviral vectors (initiating hepatic gene therapy research). Dr. Leffert was awarded a John Simon Guggenheim Memorial Fellowship, and a Morton Grossman Research Scholar Award by the American Gastroenterological Association, to study Molecular Cancer Genetics with Sir Henry Harris at the Sir William Dunn School of Pathology at Oxford University.

Currently, Drs. Leffert, Koch and Sell, are focused upon determination of pharmacokinetic growth cycle-dependent metabolic and covalent binding parameters of AAF, and the implication these new findings have with respect to translesion hepatocyte DNA synthesis and the chemical induction of hepatocellular carcinoma.


Prof. Dr. Héctor Mora-Montes

Section: Infectious Diseases

Prof. Dr. Mora-Montes

Department of Biology, Division of Natural and Exact Sciences, University of Guanajuato, Guanajuato, Mexico

During his post as a clinical analyst, Prof. Mora-Montes developed a system for the differentiation of Candida species, based on in-house zymograms and colony morphology in cornmeal agar. As a postgraduate student, he generated a new and innovative method for in situ determination of glycosyl hydrolase activities and received the “Summa Cum Laude” distinction from Universidad de Guanajuato. Among the most important achievements during his time as a postdoctoral fellow at the University of Aberdeen (Scotland), he set up most of the immunological techniques within the Aberdeen Fungal Group and developed and standardized protocols for the isolation and purification of chitin, phospholipomannan, N-linked and O-linked mannans from fungal cells. Those protocols have not only benefited the Aberdeen Fungal Group, but other international groups dedicated to the study of the fungal cell wall, and are considered among the most popular and standardized methods for isolation and analysis of fungal cell wall components.

In 2010, he established the Laboratory of Fungal Glycobiology at Universidad de Guanajuato (Mexico), with the main goal to understand the mechanisms behind the fungal cell wall synthesis and the interaction of medically relevant fungal pathogens with the host. This laboratory is characterized by its facilities to perform chemical, immunological, genetic, molecular and cellular analyses of human fungal pathogens. Therefore, it is among a handful of research facilities within Mexico and Latin America offering a multidisciplinary and integral approach to understand these pathogens. Currently, the group is developing molecular tools for genetic manipulation of medically relevant fungi, in particular Sporothrix and Candida species. Our group has a solid international reputation in the genetic study of these organisms, in the immune sensing of fungal cells, and the development of alternative models to analyze fungal virulence.

Since 2016, he was awarded the level III distinction by SNI, the highest distinction awarded by the Mexican Government for Mexican Researchers under 65 years old. He currently holds editorial appointments in several peer-reviewed international journals and is the Deputy President of the Latin-American Society of Glycobiology.
