A conversation with Don Ganem.

After a 15-year focus on the biology of the hepatitis B virus (HBV) family, the modern-day microbe hunter Don Ganem turned his attention to KSHV, the herpes virus that is the cause of the AIDS-related neoplasm Kaposi sarcoma (KS). His lab at UCSF was the first to cultivate and develop tests for KSHV. In 2010, after nearly 30 years in academia, Ganem (Figure (Figure1)1) left for industry and is currently the Vice President and Global Head for Infectious Disease for the Novartis Institutes for Biomedical Research. The full interview, with many more stories about flunking algebra to hold hands with a girl, what martians with golf clubs can teach you about drawing conclusions, and taking a turn as Dr. Dolittle, can be seen on the JCI website, http://www.jci.org/kiosk/cgm.
