J. William Harbour Biography

J. William Harbour is one of the most popular and richest Oncologist who was born on June 27, 1963 in Dallas, Texas, United States.

When Harbour joined Washington University in 1996, he undertook a three-year postdoctoral research training program in molecular oncology, which resulted in a first author publication in the journal Cell showing that the retinoblastoma protein is regulated by successive phosphorylation events. This discovery was subsequently corroborated by protein crystallography and other lines of investigation and have helped to explain how some cancer cells inactivate the retinoblastoma protein by phosphorylation rather than mutation.

In the early 2000s, the focus of Harbour’s research turned to uveal melanoma, in which he discovered a gene expression profile that predicted with great accuracy which of these cancers would remain localized to the eye (class 1 profile) and which would metastasize (class 2 profile). Based on this discovery, his group developed a highly accurate clinical prognostic test with high technical performance and prognostic accuracy. The prognostic accuracy of the test was validated in the largest multicenter prospective validation study of its kind ever conducted in the field of ocular oncology. This study also demonstrated the prognostic superiority of the gene expression profile test over traditional clinical features used in the TNM classification, as well as chromosome 3 status, neither of which provided prognostic information that was independent of the gene expression profile test.

In 2013, Harbour was first author on another landmark paper in the journal Nature Genetics describing frequent mutations in the splicing factor SF3B1 in uveal melanoma. Unlike BAP1, mutations in SF3B1 were associated with better clinical outcome.

In 2016, the Harbour lab discovered that the cancer-testis antigen PRAME is yet another prognostic biomarker in uveal melanoma. Both class 1 and class 2 uveal melanomas expressing PRAME were shown to have a worse prognosis, but these tumors may also be subject to immunotherapy directed against PRAME.
