Intro

Gillian Patricia Bates (born 19 May 1956) FMedSci FRS is a British biologist who is distinguished for her research and literature about the molecular basis of Huntington's disease (HD). She is currently a Professor of Molecular Neurogenetics at UCL Institute of Neurology and the co-director of UCL Huntington's Disease Centre (6). Her research primarily focuses on the molecular basis of HD and developing therapeutic treatment for people battling with the disease (2). She is most well known for her role as a co-discoverer of the cause of HD, for which she was awarded the GlaxoSmithKline Prize in 1998 (3).

and in 1998 was awarded the GlaxoSmithKline Prize as a co-discoverer of the cause of this disease.

Bates was educated at Kenilworth Grammar School and the University of Sheffield where she graduated with a Bachelor of Science degree in 1979. She completed her postgraduate study at Birkbeck College, London where she was awarded a Master of Science degree in 1984 followed by  St Mary's Hospital Medical School where she was awarded a PhD in 1987 for genetic mapping of the cystic fibrosis gene, working in the lab of Robert Williamson.

Bates's research has focused on Huntington's disease. She was one of the group who first cloned the Huntington's disease gene. She also created the first mouse model of the disease, the R6/2 mouse, an important step in understanding the pathogenesis of Huntington's.

Prior to joining UCL in 2016, Bates was the head of the Neurogenetics Research Group at King's College London.

Bates has been elected a fellow of the Academy of Medical Sciences (1999) and a member of the European Molecular Biology Organisation (2002). She was elected a Fellow of the Royal Society in 2007 and to its Council in 2011. In 1998, she was awarded the Royal Society Glaxo Wellcome Award jointly with Stephen Davies, for the "discovery of the cause of Huntington's Disease

Intro

Susan E. Leeman (born May 9, 1930) is an American endocrinologist who is renowned for her research on peptides. Dr. Leeman is a Professor in the Department of Pharmacology and Experimental Therapeutics at Boston University. She has continued to work into her nineties and currently serves as the Director of the Neuropeptide Laboratory in the Pharmacology Department at the Chobanian and Avedisian School of Medicine. Dr. Leeman has also been a Member of the National Academy of Sciences since 1991 (2). Her work with substance P and neurotensin, both of which are peptides crucial to the function of the nervous, endocrine, and immune systems, led to her becoming considered one of the founders of neuroendocrinology. Her current research focuses on substance P specifically and how it binds with its receptor (3). Leeman was elected as a member within the National Academy of Sciences in 1991 and received the Academy’s Fred Conrad Koch Award in 1994. Dr. Leeman is a member of the Endocrine Society, Society for Neuroscience, American Association for the Advancement of Science, and American Physiological Society (7).

Early Life and Education

Susan Epstein (later changed to Leeman by marriage) was born on May 9th, 1930, in Chicago, Illinois. Her mother was born in the United States and her father had emigrated from Russia to New York City. Her father was an academic metallurgist and her mother attended college at George Washington University at a time when few other women did. Leeman also had one older brother named Henry. When Leeman was six weeks old she and her family moved to Columbus, Ohio, and then to Bethlehem, Pennsylvania when she was six years old. There she grew up a part of a middle class jewish family. She often faced discrimination in the form of antisemitism. and sexism as she pursued a career in science.

During her childhood Leeman attended Hebrew School and was a Girl Scout. She decided to attend Goucher College, which was an all-girls’ school at the time, from which she received a bachelor's degree in physiology in 1951 (1). She then applied to and was accepted by Harvard Medical School, but her academic program was administered through Radcliffe College. Thus, Radcliffe College was where she received her master's degree and PhD from in 1954 and 1958 respectively (8). She was the only woman in her class to make it through the graduate program and continue a career in science (1). During her time in graduate school she was introduced to the field of neuroendocrinology. It was in this area that she was able to explore her passion for how the mind connects to the body (1). While in graduate school in the 1960s she began working on corticotropin, and while trying to purify this hormone later in her career she made a chance finding of substance P (SP) (6). This event subsequently led to her life’s work of researching SP and another peptide she chemically isolated and defined, neurotensin (3).

Professional Career

Following her graduation in 1958, Leeman was offered a one-year position as an instructor in the Physiology Department at Harvard Medical School. Realizing she was only a fill-in, the following year she took a job at Brandeis University where she stayed for the next 12 years. During this time she received a Career Development Award which helped her to balance her career and family life (1).

Her research while at Brandeis University mainly focused on the effect a corticotropin-releasing factor (CRF) had on the secretion of adrenocorticotrophic hormone (ACTH) from the anterior pituitary gland. During her effort to purify CRF, she discovered a peptide that could stimulate the secretion of saliva. This caused her to switch the direction of the project entirely, as she decided to further investigate this peptide. Eventually she realized she had unintentionally isolated and sequenced substance P – a peptide originally discovered by Ulf von Euler in the 1930s, but had yet to be chemically defined. Leeman published her findings in the Journal of Biological Chemistry in 1970 (1). During the purification process of substance P, Leeman and a graduate student of hers discovered another peptide that was distributed throughout the central nervous system, gastrointestinal tract, and immune system, but had yet to be identified. They decided to name their discovery “neurotensin”.

In 1972, having not yet received a full position, Leeman returned to Harvard Medical School as an assistant professor and continued her studies of substance P and neurotensin in the Laboratory of Human Reproduction and Reproductive Biology until 1980. She then left the medical school when she realised that she would not be offered a tenure there either, gaining a tenured professorship in physiology at the University of Massachusetts Medical School. In 1992 Leeman left Massachusetts to help start the pharmacology department at Boston University, where she has remained a Professor in the Department of Pharmacology & Experimental Therapeutics, and the Director of the Neuropeptide Laboratory in the Pharmacology Department at the Chobanian and Avedisian School of Medicine to this day (2,7). As a result of her work Leeman is widely regarded as one of the founders of the field of neuroendocrinology.

Recent Research

Dr. Leeman’s current research is centered around the two peptides, substance P (SP) and neurotensin, that she originally isolated, sequenced, and synthesized. Her lab at Boston University has multiple goals regarding these neural peptides, including mapping their distribution within the brain and peripheral nervous system, delineating tracts containing SP or neurotensin within the central nervous system, determining how SP and neurotensin are released from neural tissue in vitro and in vivo, and identifying the binding domain of SP with its receptor (8).

Awards and Honors

Leeman became the first woman elected to the National Academy of Sciences in physiology and pharmacology in 1991. She was elected to the American Academy of Arts and Sciences in 1987. In 1993 she won the FASEB Excellence in Science Award and in 2005 won the Committee on Women in Neuroscience's Mika Salpeter Lifetime Achievement Award.
