Etienne de Harven, MD is a Belgian-born pathologist and electron microscopist. Born in Brussels, he did most of his work in New York City, Paris and Toronto.〔Etienne de Harven: Curriculum Vitae Online - LinkedIn, France: http://fr.linkedin.com/pub/etienne-de-harven/1b/b9a/727〕 He did pioneering research on viruses, mostly related to murine leukemia. He is former President of the Electron Microscopy Society of America (now Microscopy Society of America).〔Photos of Past Presidents of the Microscopy Society of America (Former "Electron Microscopy Society of America") - Etienne de Harven (1976) - http://www.microscopy.org/about/past_presidents_photos.cfm#1976〕〔List of Past Presidents of the Microscopy Society of America - Etienne de Harven (1976): http://www.microscopy.org/about/past_presidents.cfm〕 == Work == De Harven obtained his medical degree from the University of Brussels. He later worked at the Institute of Cancer of Villejuif under Charles Oberling and Wilhelm Bernhard, where he made pioneering obvervations of the structure of centrioles.〔. See also de Harven's own recollections of this work: .〕 He was subsequently hired by Memorial Sloan-Kettering Cancer Center, where he worked alongside Charlotte Friend and studied viruses, mostly in mice systems and the causation and incidence of leukemia and other malignant diseases related to those viruses. Later, he provided the first description of a viral budding. While at Sloan-Kettering, de Harven was part of a team which discovered "virus-like particles" in cells taken from patients suffering from Hodgkin's disease. He became professor of cell biology at the University of Cornell and later of pathology at the University of Toronto, where he researched the marking of antigens on the surface of lymphocytes. As former President of the Microscopy Society of America, he published several papers, mostly related to Cancer Pathologies and electron microscopy procedures for viral explorations. De Harven is also a prominent AIDS denialist,〔.〕 one of a group invited in 2000 to South Africa by president Thabo Mbeki to serve on a presidential panel on AIDS.〔.〕〔.〕 He published a book in 2005 entitled ''Les Dix Plus Gros Mensonges sur le SIDA'' (''Ten Lies About AIDS''),〔Les Dix Plus Gros Mensonges sur le SIDA. Etienne de Harven et Jean Claude Roussez. Editions Dangles. ISBN 978-2-7033-0624-5 (France 2005)〕 in which he denies a connection between the HIV virus and AIDS, instead attributing the disease to lifestyle and environmental factors.〔De Harven, Etienne, (''Ten Lies about Aids'' ), Trafford Publishing, 2008〕 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Étienne de Harven」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
