DESCRIPTION:David Sabatini is a Member of the Whitehead Institute for Biom
 edical Research\, and a Professor of Biology at the Massachusetts Institut
 e of Technology. He is also an Investigator of the Howard Hughes Medical I
 nstitute\, a Senior Associate Member at the Broad Institute and a member o
 f the Koch Institute for Integrative Cancer Research\, and an American Can
 cer Society Research Professor.\n\nDavid and his lab study the basic mecha
 nisms that regulate cell growth. A major focus of the lab is the Target of
  Rapamycin (TOR) pathway\, a major regulator of growth in many eukaryotic 
 species. This has resulted in the identification of many components of the
  pathway and to an understanding of their cellular and organismal function
 s\, most of which have implications for diseases such as cancer and diabet
 es. David is also interested in the role of metabolism in cancer and in th
 e mechanisms that control the effects of dietary restriction on tumorigene
 sis. Additionally\, his lab has developed new technologies that facilitate
  the analysis of gene function in mammalian cells. \n\nDavid received his 
 B.S. from Brown University magna cum laude and his M.D./Ph.D. from Johns H
 opkins University. He has received numerous honors and awards\, some of wh
 ich are the 2009 Paul Marks Prize\, the 2014 NAS Award in Molecular Biolog
 y\, the 2017 Lurie Prize in Biomedical Sciences\, and the 2017 Dickson Pri
 ze in Medicine. He was elected to the National Academy of Sciences in 2016
