Professor, Department of Chemistry, Cleveland State University, Cleveland, United States.
Prof. Anthony J. Berdis is a biochemical and chemical biology researcher with expertise in DNA replication, DNA repair, nucleotide metabolism, medicinal chemistry, and cancer therapeutics. His research focuses on the design, synthesis, and biological evaluation of non-natural nucleosides and nucleotides as therapeutic and diagnostic agents targeting DNA polymerase activity.
Prof. Berdis’s laboratory investigates how DNA polymerases replicate normal and damaged DNA, with particular emphasis on translesion DNA synthesis, genomic fidelity, and mechanisms of resistance to DNA-damaging anticancer agents. His work has contributed to the development of artificial nucleoside and nucleotide analogs that can serve as probes for polymerase activity and as potential agents for enhancing the efficacy of cancer therapies.
His research spans chemistry, biochemistry, molecular oncology, pharmacology, and drug discovery. Through studies on DNA damage responses, polymerase selectivity, nucleoside analog development, and cancer cell sensitivity to chemotherapeutic agents, Prof. Berdis contributes to the advancement of mechanism-based strategies for cancer diagnosis, treatment, and therapeutic optimization.

Michael Retsky (PhD in Physics from University of Chicago) made a career change to cancer research thirty years ago. He is on staff at Harvard TH Chan School of Public Health and Angiogenesis Foundation, both in Boston. He is also on faculty at University College London. He was on Judah Folkman’s staff at Harvard Medical School for 12 years. Retsky is Editor of a Nature/Springer book on breast cancer to be published in 2017 and Editor-in-Chief of the Journal of Bioequivalence and Bioavailability. He is a founder and on the Board of Directors of the Colon Cancer Alliance and has published more than 60 papers in physics and cancer. He was diagnosed with stage IIIc colon cancer in 1994. Based on his prior research on tumor growth and therapy he decided against using conventional maximum tolerated chemotherapy. Instead he used a low dose, long term therapy administered daily with a portable infusion pump and the usual colon cancer drug 5-fluorouracil. The therapy was non-toxic and apparently worked well since he did not relapse and it is now well beyond the period of risk of relapse. This was discussed with Judah Folkman and Tim Browder in 1996 and led to testing of this therapy in the Folkman lab. Results were published in 2000 by Browder et al and the therapy is now termed metronomic chemotherapy. The Browder et al Cancer Research 2000 paper is a citation classic. Both Folkman and Browder are deceased so Retsky (the cancer patient) is the only one left alive to relate the story of the initiation of metronomic chemotherapy. (See Retsky M.
