Zustand: New. JAN T. VILCEK is professor of Microbiology at NYU Langone Medical Center. Born in Bratislava, Slovakia (then Czechoslovakia), where he also earned his MD and PhD degrees, Vilcek together with his wife, Marica Vilcek, an art historian, immigrated to t.

Buch. Zustand: Neu. Neuware - Long before he became one of the world's most celebrated immunologists, Jan Vilcek began life in Slovakia as the child of Jewish parents at a time when Jews were being exterminated all across Europe. He owes his and his mother's survival to the courage of brave people and good luck. As a young man growing up in Czechoslovakia in the aftermath of the Second World War, Vilcek went to medical school and chose a career in virology and immunology at a time when these fields were still in their infancy. While still in his twenties he published a paper in the prestigious journal Nature, and he hosted the first international conference on interferon. Fleeing Communist Czechoslovakia with his wife Marica, Vilcek continued his research at NYU School of Medicine, going on to establish a highly successful career in biomedical research, and creating one of the most important and trailblazing medicines of our age. After his arrival in the US in 1965 as a penniless refugee, he soon went on to spearhead some of the key advances in the research of interferon that enabled its therapeutic application, and through his research into tumor necrosis factor (TNF) made advances that led to the discovery of new genes and proteins and signaling pathways, opening up previously uncharted areas of medical innovation that have led to important new treatments for a wide range of autoimmune and inflammatory diseases. Along the way Vilcek acquired material wealth he had never aspired to, catapulting him into the world of philanthropy. Love and Science shows how advances in science sometimes result from the greatest disappointments, and how achievement in medical research is usually a team effort, where ideas are shared, where friendship and love sometimes matter most and serendipity is as important as a will to succeed-and where, over time, the least expected thing sometimes becomes the most important. In Vilcek's case the vaunted cure for cancer that many saw in TNF never materialized. However, out of the ashes of that hope came many related treatments that have changed countless lives and alleviated much suffering.

Buch. Zustand: Neu. Neuware - A riveting memoir of escape from communist authoritarianism to a life in the arts in America."There was no freedom here, no security, very little opportunity, and altogether too much corruption?" Marica Vilcek was just twelve years old when the Communists took over her country. Her prospects were curtailed, as a result, and when her brother vanished, apparently escaping to Western Europe, her family became blacklisted, reducing her hope for a future career in the sciences and arts. But in spite of many obstacles to advancing, Marica was determined to earn a degree, and managed to find work at the Slovak National Gallery. She tiptoed around Party members, careful to never reveal her family name. In 1962, Marica married Jan Vilcek, a virologist who shared her disdain of the Communist Party. The two became determined to escape the country. Their dangerous and harrowing journey eventually landed them in New York City where she began a thirty-year career at The Metropolitan Museum of Art. Jan became a leading immunologist and faculty emeritus at the New York University School of Medicine. In 2000, Marica and Jan established the Vilcek Foundation to raise awareness of immigrant contributions to the arts, sciences, and culture of the United States. The Vilceks have become leading philanthropists in the arts and humanities. Their foundation has awarded more than $15 million in prizes and grants in alignment with its mission. The Vilcek Foundation Prizes are awarded annually to celebrate immigrant artists, scientists, and leaders who advocate for immigrant rights.
