Without her 1970s finding that broken and translocated chromosomes were a factor in blood cancers, we might not have the treatments for leukemia that are commonplace today. We spoke earlier this winter at her University of Chicago offices and also at the Hyde Park home she shares with her husband of 62 years, Rowley, a research pathologist. An edited and condensed version of the interviews follows.
