Dr. Janet D. Rowley Chronic Myeloid Leukemia CML
Dr. Janet Davison Rowley (born in 1925) is the first scientist to identify a chromosomal translocation as the cause of leukemia and other cancers. Dr. Rowley made the breakthrough discovery in 1972 of two translocations in leukemia, the 8:21 translocation in acute myelogenous leukemia (AML) and the 9:22 translocation in chronic myelogenous leukemia (CML).
