Former colleagues, friends and family will gather in Mayer Auditorium on Sept. 16 at 11 a.m. to celebrate Distinguished Professor Brian E. Henderson, the former dean of the Keck School of Medicine of USC.
\nCurrent Dean Carmen A. Puliafito, USC President C. L. Max Nikias and USC Norris Director Stephen B. Gruber will be among those offering tributes, as will professors Christopher Haiman and Sean Henderson, who is the son of Brian Henderson.
\nHenderson, who led the Keck School of Medicine of USC as dean between 2004 and 2007 and steered some of the school\u2019s most prominent research centers, died June 20 at home in San Marino, Calif., at the age of 77 after a valiant 13-month battle against lung cancer.
\nHenderson held the Kenneth T. Norris Jr. Chair in Cancer Prevention and was the founding chair of the school\u2019s nationally ranked Department of Population and Public Health Sciences. He also served as the first director of the Zilkha Neurogenetic Institute and was director of the USC Norris Comprehensive Cancer Center when the USC Norris Cancer Hospital opened in 1983.
\nUSC in 1999 presented Henderson with the Presidential Medallion, the university\u2019s highest honor, for his pioneering research and service to the university.
\n\u201cBrian Henderson was a beloved member of our Trojan Family for 45 years,\u201d said USC President C. L. Max Nikias. \u201cHis many contributions to medicine, research, and our community \u2014 notably during his tenure as dean of our Keck School of Medicine \u2014 were both far-reaching and extraordinary. He built an exceptional legacy at USC, and in the field of medicine.\u201d
\nHenderson began his career in medicine as a researcher in virology. As a young scientist, he ventured to Africa with the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention and spent 3 1\/2 years studying yellow fever. He was also a member of the U.S. Delegation on Hemorrhagic Fevers to the Soviet Union in 1969 and went on to travel extensively in Asia, where he was part of the first official U.S. scientific delegation to the People\u2019s Republic of China.
\nBut with the dawn of the 1970s, researchers turned their attention to the great challenge of cancer \u2014 culminating with the U.S. declaring a \u201cWar on Cancer\u201d under the Nixon Administration. Henderson changed his research focus and helped lead the charge.
\n\u201cAt that time we knew virtually nothing about the causes of cancer,\u201d Henderson said in a 1999 interview.
\nThat battle against the disease brought him to the Keck School in 1970 as an associate professor of pathology. He ultimately became one of the world\u2019s preeminent authorities in cancer epidemiology \u2014 investigating rates and patterns of cancer incidence to seek factors that might raise or lower risk for the disease. He studied the interplay between environmental and genetic contributors to the disease. Among his most cited works were studies on the importance of reproductive hormones to diseases such as breast cancer, as well as the role of diet in reducing cancer risk.
\nIn 1972, Henderson set up the Los Angeles Cancer Surveillance Program \u2014 the county\u2019s cancer registry \u2014 at USC, where it remains today as a valuable resource to researchers nationwide. The registry has shed light on countless medical issues, such as the link between combination hormone replacement therapy and increased breast cancer risk in postmenopausal women and how intense smokers are more likely to develop aggressive, deadly bladder cancers.
\nIn explaining the value of the registry at its 25th anniversary, Henderson put it simply: \u201cFirst you find out who gets the disease within a certain population. When you identify a pattern of who gets it, then you have a clue about why people are getting it.\u201d
\nTwo decades later, he established the Hawaii-Los Angeles Multiethnic Cohort, an influential study following 215,000 people that has led to numerous influential findings on cancer risk factors. Its work continues today, with dozens of papers published from the study each year.
\nStephen Gruber, director of the USC Norris Comprehensive Cancer Center, called Henderson a \u201ctowering figure in American medicine.\u201d
\n\u201cDr. Henderson\u2019s contributions as a physician, scholar and leader transformed our understanding of the hormonal basis of many human cancers, and led the way to effective medicines to prevent and treat cancer,\u201d Gruber said. \u201cHe saved countless lives.\u201d
\nHenderson led the USC Norris Comprehensive Cancer Center at a time of tremendous growth between 1983 and 1994. He also led the Salk Institute for Biological Studies in San Diego as its president from 1993 to 1995, returning to USC in 1996.
\n\u201cDuring his decades of service to USC, Dr. Henderson brought significant prestige, as well as national and international recognition, to USC, the Keck School of Medicine and the USC Norris Comprehensive Cancer Center, because of the outstanding education and research programs he established and promoted,\u201d said Keck School of Medicine Dean Carmen Puliafito. \u201cDr. Henderson was a warm and caring individual, a passionate scientist, a man of great integrity, and an excellent role model for young researchers and students.\u201d
\nWhile Henderson was widely recognized for his contributions to cancer research, he pointed to the Keck School of Medicine\u2019s education of future scientific minds as his greatest accomplishment.
\n\u201cLooking back, I\u2019m really proud to have helped build the scientific base of the medical school,\u201d he said. \u201cMentoring students is something I just love.\u201d
\nHenderson was inducted into the Institute of Medicine of the National Academy of Sciences in 1992 and served as the president of the Society for Epidemiologic Research in the late 1990s. In 2004, he was one of the first scientific experts selected to the oversight committee for the California Institute of Regenerative Medicine \u2014 the state\u2019s stem cell research entity. He also served on the board of trustees for Children\u2019s Hospital Los Angeles.
\nSaid Henderson of his career and work: \u201cIn the course of my travels, I feel fortunate to have been taught and to have received more than I could possibly have given.\u201d
\nA graduate of the University of California, Berkeley, he received his medical degree from the University of Chicago Medical School. He completed his internship and residency at Massachusetts General Hospital.
\nHe is survived by his wife, Judith; his children, Sean O\u2019Brien Henderson \u201982, MD \u201989, Maire Henderson Mullaly \u201984, Sarah Cathleen Henderson, Brian John Henderson and Michael Clement Henderson; and 11 grandchildren.
\nIn lieu of flowers, donations may be made to the \u201cBrian Henderson, M.D., Fellowship Fund\u201d at USC Norris Comprehensive Cancer Center, 1441 Eastlake Ave., Suite 8302, Los Angeles, CA 90089
