3. Passing of DAVID B. BUSCH, Ph.D., M.D. - July 25, 1953 - April 11, 2002
It is with great sadness that we announce the passing of our friend and
colleague, Dr. David B. Busch who succumbed to leukemia on April 11 at the
age of 48 years.
David was a remarkable, intelligent, and dedicated person. He received an
undergraduate degree in biochemistry with distinction in 1974, a masters
in biophysics in 1976 and Ph.D. in biophysics in 1980 all at the
University of California, Berkeley. His Ph.D. work was performed under
the guidance of Nobel prize winner, Dr. Donald Glaser. He then earned an
M.D. degree in 1982 in a special 2 year program for Ph.D's at the
University of Miami. This was followed by residencies in anatomic and
clinical pathology at the University of Wisconsin in Madison which
culminated in his becoming a Diplomate of the American Board of Pathology
in 1986. The same year he joined the Armed Forces Institute of Pathology
in Washington, DC where he spent his professional career as a Radiation
Pathologist.
His early DNA repair work was focused at discovering DNA repair mutants in
Chinese hamster cells. He performed large scale isolation and
characterization of UV sensitive DNA repair mutants of these CHO cells.
This work led to the discovery of rodent cells that were homologues of
several human diseases: xeroderma pigmentosum (XP) complementation group D
(ERCC2), group B (ERCC3), group F (ERCC4), group G (ERCC5), Cockayne
syndrome group B (ERCC6) and Fanconi anemia group G (UV40). Each of these
cell lines was pivotal in the efforts by several laboratories to clone the
corresponding these human genes.
Over the last 25 years David had an extremely successful interaction with
Dr. Larry Thompson at Lawrence Livermore National Laboratory. Although
Larry was not a formal member of David's Ph.D. thesis committee, Larry
provided David with guidance and considered him to be a truly outstanding
graduate student. David always seemed to understand everything and was
able to set high goals for himself and meet them. David ensured that
mutants were still being sent to Livermore by technicians after he had
gone to medical school.
When the Glaser laboratory closed because of loss of funding, Larry
maintained David's mutant collection in liquid nitrogen for about a decade
until David established his own laboratory in Washington, DC. David then
systematically analyzed the complete collection and produced a series of
publications that involved collaborations with scientists in the
Netherlands, in Texas, and other places. This extended accomplishment was
a reflection of David's thorough, persistent research style. Larry's lab
benefitted immensely from David's mutants. Some of the mutant lines have
been in a national repository for many years and will continue to serve
numerous investigators indefinitely.
When Dr. Kenneth Kraemer first met David, Dr. James Cleaver had been
performing clinical diagnostic tests for XP patients in the US. New
Federal regulations made it difficult for Jim to continue this work in a
research lab. David, who was a card-carrying pathologist in a
distinguished institution that was familiar with Federal regulations,
stepped in to perform this valuable service.
David put his heart and soul into this important work. He began by
offering testing for XP and then expanded to test for Cockayne syndrome
and trichothiodystrophy. He tested samples from several hundred patients
over the years. These results have changed many people's lives. The
Kraemer laboratory and others around the world are currently performing
further analysis on many of these cells and will be studying them for
years to come.
The laboratory work was only part of his effort. David soon realized that
the people whose cells he tested were searching for assistance as well.
He regularly visited Camp Sundown, a camp for XP patients, and a similar
group for families with Cockayne Syndrome. He brought his cats and his
good humor to cheer up those affected with XP and CS. He will be greatly
missed.
Sincerely,

Of additional interest:
David Busch maintained a website "Myelodysplasia and me"
http://members.aol.com/myelodysplasia/index.html that chronicled the
unfortunately rapid course of his disease beginning from diagnosis as a
precancer in November 2000.
David was fond of exotic cats as can be seen in his other website: "About
Jadzia Cattery and Emony's Exotic Cats" which describe his efforts to
breed exotic Norwegian forest cats and Canadian lynxes
http://members.aol.com/mdserval/cattery.html
David Busch prepared an educational CD "Xeroderma Pigmentosum and Cockayne
Syndrome - A Multimedia Overview" which includes video clips of patients
and researchers . He also made two educational videotapes: "Cockayne
Syndrome (CS) and Xeroderma Pigmentosum (XP)" and "DNA Repair Disorder:
X-Ray Sensitivity Disorder/Administrative and Regulatory Issues in
Laboratory Diagnosis of DNA Repair Deficient Patients". These may be
