Dr. Vinay K. Pathak received his B.A. in Biology from the University of California,
Los Angeles, in 1979. He obtained his M.S. in Comparative Pathology in 1983
from the University of California, Davis, for characterization of mouse mammary
tumor virus proviral integration sites near the int1 and int2
loci in mammary tumors and hyperplastic tissues in Dr. Robert Cardiff's laboratory.
He received his Ph.D. for work on characterization of the eukaryotic protein synthesis
initiation factors eIF-2a
and eIF-2b
in Dr. John W.B. Hershey's laboratory at the University of California, Davis,
in 1988. He was a postdoctoral fellow under the guidance of Dr. Howard Temin
from 1988 to 1991, where he determined the in vivo forward mutation rate
of spleen necrosis virus and characterized the nature of mutations that arise
during retroviral replication. In 1991, Dr. Pathak became an Assistant Professor
in the Department of Biochemistry and the Mary Babb Randolph Cancer Center at
West Virginia University. He was promoted to Associate Professor with tenure
in 1998. He joined the National Cancer Institute in 1999 as Senior Investigator
and Head of the Viral Mutation Section in the HIV Drug Resistance Program.
Dr. Pathak was appointed as Guest Editor for the HIV Drug Resistance special issue
of Viruses, which will be published in October 2009. He is also
an Adjunct Professor at West Virginia University.
