" Jerry McKee Adams", Australian Academy of Science/FAA, Fellow of the Royal Society/FRS is a molecular biologist whose research into the genetics of hemopoiesis/haemopoietic differentiation (cellular)/differentiation and malignancy, led him and his wife, Professor Suzanne Cory, to be the first two scientists to pioneer gene cloning techniques in Australia, and to successfully clone mammalian genes. Adams currently shares (with [http://www.wehi.edu.au/facweb/indexresearch.php?id=24 Andreas Strasser]) the position of Joint-Head of the molecular genetics/Molecular Genetics of Cancer Division at The Walter and Eliza Hall Institute of Medical Research (WEHI) in Melbourne (Australia).

Their research, following that by Susumu Tonegawa, also led to the discovery that antibody genes encode as bits and pieces, that can recombine in a myriad of ways to help fight infection; they also confirmed earlier work by Shen-Ong & Cole, Leder, Hood, Croce, and Hayward that genetic mutation leads to Burkitt's lymphoma, a malignancy of antibody-producing cell (biology)/cells, called "B lymphocytes".

It was in Adams' lab that his PhD student, David Vaux, made the connection between apoptosis (programmed cell death) and cancer, while studying bcl-2 gene in follicular lymphoma, the most common human lymphoma.

The U.S. Army's transformation demands that smaller groups of forces be able to securely communicate at greater distances. The long-haul capabilities of the AN/PRC-150© radio systems allow soldiers to transmit voice, data, images, and situational awareness information, using the highest grade of encryption available.
