Head coach Mike Krzyzewski to speak at 2016 commencement Amrith Ramkumar The Chronicle Men’s basketball head coach Mike Krzyzewski will be Duke’s 2016 commencement speaker May 15, President Richard Brodhead told The Chronicle Thursday afternoon. “Duke has been my home for more than 35 years,” Krzyzewski said in a release. “During that time, one of my greatest joys has been sharing time with our students, who are amazing representatives of this university. They are the lifeblood that accentuates the excellence for which Duke University is known throughout the world. It was humbling to be asked to address the

students, and I consider it a tremendous honor to able to spend time with them at such an important event in their lives.” Krzyzewski became the first men’s basketball Division I head coach to win 1,000 games last January en route to leading the Blue Devils to their fifth national title. Brodhead noted that Krzyzewski’s tenure at Duke—he is entering his 36th season patrolling the sidelines—was one of the main reasons the decision was made. “He is a teacher,” Brodhead said. “He takes people with talent and he inspires them and challenges them and drives them to learn how to live up to a far higher level of their ability. For me, that’s really an emblem of Duke itself.” Brodhead noted that the University has

had a variety of speakers in recent years— global health expert Paul Farmer last May, Melinda Gates in 2013 and journalist Fareed Zakaria in 2012, to name a few— but explained that Krzyzewski’s sports background will add another unique perspective to the 2016 commencement ceremony. “I’ve been thinking about it for awhile. Through the years, we’ve had very different people, and there’s not one model,” Brodhead said. “All I want is someone who cares that they’re at Duke rather than some generic university. I once heard a very fine commencement speech but I later learned it was given at 12 other universities—I’m not having that.” Some members of the Class of 2015 were

unhappy with Farmer’s speech in May, but many members of Duke’s next graduating class are enthusiastic about the decision to have Krzyzewski speak. “Coach K gave a Blue Devil Days speech [before I matriculated] and I’m pretty excited to hear what he’s going to say about us going off into the future,” senior Cody Parrott said. “It was pretty much his speech that convinced me to go here over other places I got into.” “He’s a pretty inspirational individual— he can get Team USA all the way to win in the Olympics and has won multiple national championships,” senior Aashna Saini said. “He inspires a lot of his players to be more than just players on the court and off the See COACH K on Page 10

hurricanes for halloween Brian Mazur The Chronicle There might be turmoil in South Beach this week. But in Durham, the focus has been solely on Duke and winning. The No. 22 Blue Devils are gearing up to face ACC Coastal Division foe Miami in a Halloween showdown Saturday at 7 p.m. at Wallace Wade Stadium. After suffering a 58-0 loss to Clemson— the worst defeat in program history—last weekend, Miami athletic director Blake James announced that the program was parting ways with head coach Al Golden, appointing tight ends coach Larry Scott to fill the void in the interim. Although the shakeup has surely brought change to the Hurricane program, Duke’s preparation for this weekend’s game against a talented Miami team has remained the same. “You prepare for that team as you would for any other team,” redshirt senior strike safety Jeremy Cash said. “They are going to have a coach at their helm leading them out of the tunnel ready to play some football. We are going to be ready to play as well.” As Miami (4-3, 1-2 in the ACC) searches for answers after dropping three of its last four games and losing its head coach, the levels of enthusiasm and confidence around the Blue Devil program could not be any higher. Duke (6-1, 3-0) is coming off a thrilling 45-43 quadruple-overtime road win against Virginia Tech that put it in serious contention for the Coastal crown for the third straight year. With wins against the Hurricanes, North Carolina and Pittsburgh in the next three weeks, the squad could find itself in the ACC championship for the second time in three years. The win against the Hokies did not come

without its drawbacks, though, as the longest game in ACC history took a physical toll on the Blue Devils and left players like Cash covered in ice following the game. The All-ACC safety said that, although he has no doubt that the team would be physically ready on Friday, coming off such a long game has been a process. “We were able to use Sunday for recovery,” Cash said. “[Tuesday] we weren’t hitting on all cylinders, we still need to get our legs back a little bit. Ultimately we’re going to come back tomorrow and do whatever we need to do to make sure we are ready on Saturday.” Cash and the Duke defense were tested last weekend in Blacksburg, but did register another solid performance, only giving up

24 points in regulation. The Blue Devils were able to harass quarterback Michael Brewer in backfield, posting eight tackles for loss and three sacks in the win, even with senior defensive end Kyler Brown sidelined with a knee injury. In his absence, defensive tackle Mike Ramsey made the most of his first start with seven tackles, two tackles for loss and a sack. Even with quarterback Brad Kaaya’s status unclear heading into Saturday’s game after suffering a concussion against Clemson and not practicing midweek, the Hurricane’s athletic ability on the offensive side of the ball will test the staunch Blue Devil defense. Running back Joseph Yearby is averaging 5.3 yards per carry and has seven total touchdowns

and wideout Rashawn Scott has hauled in 35 catches for 467 yards and four touchdowns. Scott’s fellow receiver Herb Waters—who has caught a touchdown pass against Duke in both of the past two years—has 23 catches for 396 yards. The duo will test the Blue Devil secondary, which gave up three touchdown passes in last week’s overtime win. Containing talent on the offensive side of the football will be a huge challenge for Duke Saturday, head coach David Cutcliffe said. “A lot of those kids come out of South Florida, which has an incredibly competitive high school league,” he said. “So it’s a great game to measure who you are and hope that our [team] understands how we are going to have to prepare to be ready.” On the other side of the ball, the Miami defense has not been as strong this season. Blue Devil redshirt junior quarterback Thomas Sirk, who is coming off a performance of 379 total yards and four touchdowns, is facing a Hurricane defense that ranks 79th in scoring defense, giving up 27.7 points per game. The Glen Saint Mary, Fla., native, has found some strong targets in a receiving unit that struggled earlier in the season. Max McCaffrey is playing like a senior leader, pacing the team with 25 catches for 360 yards and three touchdowns. But other targets are emerging—such as Anthony Nash, who has eight catches for 129 yards and a touchdown in his last two games— giving Sirk multiple options to choose from. “[Nash] has a very wide range,” Sirk said. “He can fill it with his body frame anywhere, he has such long arms that he can get it and attack the ball.” If Sirk and the Blue Devils can get the passing game going, it could be a long day for a Miami See FOOTBALL on Page 10

Nobel in Duke’s DNA Abigail Xie The Chronicle Paul Modrich’s Nobel Prize win is a huge victory not only for him and for Duke, but also for all fields of basic research, administrators and colleagues said. Modrich—James B. Duke professor of biochemistry, member of the Duke Cancer Institute and Howard Hughes Medical Institute investigator—was awarded the 2015 Nobel Prize in Chemistry Wednesday, along with Aziz Sancar of the University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill and Tomas Lindahl of the Francis Crick Institute

in the U.K. The researchers were honored for their discoveries of three different fundamental mechanisms of DNA repair—a critical process in maintaining the integrity of many organisms’ DNA. The research has potential applications in fighting cancer and other diseases. Modrich is the second standing faculty member in Duke’s history to win a Nobel Prize and also the second professor from the department of biochemistry, after Dr. Robert Lefkowitz, James B. Duke professor of medicine and professor of biochemistry and immunology, received the same award in 2012 for his work on See NOBEL on Page 12

Nobel laureate Modrich excited to get back in the lab Neelesh Moorthy The Chronicle Paul Modrich—James B. Duke professor of biochemistry, member of the Duke Cancer Institute and Howard Hughes Medical Institute investigator— became the second standing faculty member in Duke’s history to win a Nobel Prize Oct. 7. He was awarded the 2015 Nobel Prize in Chemistry for his research on DNA repair, which has potential applications for fighting cancer and other diseases. The Chronicle’s Neelesh Moorthy recently spoke with Modrich about the award, his work and the importance of basic research. The Chronicle: How did you react to winning the Nobel Prize? Did you have any idea ahead of time that you would receive this award? Paul Modrich: I was extremely surprised. They didn’t have our number because we have a vacation cabin in New Hampshire. My cellphone started beeping around 6 [a.m.]. I got a text message, and it was “Congratulations for your Nobel Prize” from a former post-doc. And then I started getting a bunch of emails. I hadn’t heard from Stockholm, so I looked up the Nobel Prize website, and there it was. TC: Could you explain your recent research on DNA repair? PM: There are multiple DNA repair systems in the cells. We’ve worked on the pathway that recognizes base pairing errors—nonWatson-Crick base pairs—in the DNA helix. The enzymes that copy DNA are incredibly accurate. DNA polymerase, as it copies DNA, makes about one mistake for every 1 million to 10 million bases copied. Each of your cells has 6 billion base pairs, or 12 billion bases, so this still corresponds to 1,000 errors per cell division. Our interest was how such a reaction could happen biochemically. To address this, we grew cells, broke them open to make a cell extract and added DNA with a mismatch to see if it might be repaired. This worked, and we then found that the reaction was defective in extracts prepared from cells with genetic defects in several mutator genes—genes shown by others to play a role in mismatch repair in the cell. This permitted us to purify the protein products of these genes and determine what they do. We then identified nine additional proteins required for the reaction and reproduced this replication error correction process using purified proteins. Those studies were done in bacteria, and we were interested if a similar pathway existed in higher cells. So, we approached this problem using similar kinds of DNA substrates and showed that, yes, human cells have a similar reaction. Because we knew that the bacterial reaction plays a very important role in controlling mutation rate, the question was: Does this human reaction also have a role in genetic stability? About this time, a paper appeared in Science from the de la Chapelle and Vogelstein Labs showing that tumor cells from patients with Lynch syndrome—the most common hereditary

cancer—had frequent mutations in simple DNA repeat sequences that non-tumor cells from the same patients did not. When we saw that paper, the nature of the tumor mutations suggested to us that it was extremely likely that these cells were mismatch repair mutants. I called Bert Vogelstein with these thoughts, and he sent us cell lines derived from Lynch tumors. We looked at these biochemically, and we found that they were biochemically defective in mismatch repair. In terms of clinical implications, that’s one of the most significant consequences of the work. Availability of these mismatch repair-deficient cancer cells also allowed us to identify and isolate the missing components, and this has recently culminated in our reconstitution of human mismatch repair in the test tube. TC: What do you think have been some of the most impactful See MODRICH on Page 10

court, so I think he could be a great inspiration for us going into the real world.” Other seniors were more reserved. Senior Eric Lakey noted that the speech could be an indication that Krzyzewski’s career at Duke is coming to a close. “I am very excited that Coach K is giving the commencement speech,” Lakey said. “I am a little bit worried about the timing, though. Because he recently announced that he would be stepping down from the U.S. Olympic team, and I wonder if this might be an indication of his upcoming retirement from Duke.” “Part of me is really excited about it, but I feel like I have the opportunity to hear him speak a lot and it would be kind of nice to see someone new,” senior Brendon Colbert said. “But I’m not saying he was a bad pick at all, and I’m going to love to hear him speak.”

defense that lost starting linebackers Darrion Owens and Rafael Kirby for the season with injuries and could be missing cornerback Artie Burns—who has five interceptions this season—due to the death of his mother. But Cutcliffe and Duke aren’t reading too much into who will be on the field Saturday. The Blue Devils have only won once against the Hurricanes in the last 10 meetings and continue to have a sour taste in their mouths after losing 22-10 at Sun Life Stadium in a slugfest. Miami has plenty of talent across the board and that won’t have Duke overlooking Saturday’s game with a possible top-25 showdown with North Carolina looming in a week. “I’m looking forward to see how our team will improve and compete against a team that has so many dimensions,” Cutcliffe said. “I look at them and I start trying to think of their greatest strengths….you just have to keep going.”

scientific discoveries in the past five to 10 years? PM: There’s been tremendous progress in the area of neurobiology. It’s an area I’ve always regretted not going into—in fact, one I considered when I was in graduate school. A second example is the recent isolation and characterization of CRISPR/Cas systems by Jennifer Doudna, Emmanuelle Charpentier and others. These systems arguably represent the most powerful genetic tool for the manipulation of the genomes of complex organisms. This technology is already raising serious ethical questions because it provides, in principle, for the ready modification of the human genome.

Samantha Neal and Grace Wang contributed reporting.

Editor’s Note: This story originally appeared in the Thursday edition of The Chronicle.

TC: Why is basic research important? PM: Without this basic research by the mismatch repair community, when the Lynch syndrome mutations were identified, there would have been no knowledge base on which to speculate about the nature of the cause of that disease. But this is just one example. In my view, the bulk of the major advances in clinical medicine derive from our advances in our basic understanding of biological processes. TC: Do you think basic research faces any challenges? PM: I think that there are many. One of the most serious is availability of funds, particularly for young scientists. The scientific future of this and other countries depends on the successful nurturing of young scientists, and if they can’t get the funding to get their labs going, the future of science will be compromised. A lot of funding agencies are trying to address this, but it’s still a significant problem. Why is this a problem? I think there are two issues. Funding has remained relatively flat or has decreased slightly in terms of real dollars. There’s also been an increase in the pipeline of the number of young people. It’s not clear to me what the answers to this are, but as I said, I think it’s a significant problem. TC: What do you think scientists’ and science’s role in the media ought to be? PM: The bulk of science done in this country is paid for by the public. I think that the public needs to know whether they’re getting their money’s worth, and probably the simplest way to do that is through the media and the Internet. That said, I think there are some cases when scientific findings are hyped in the media, but I’m not sure what can be done about that. TC: How do you think receiving this award is going to affect your career at Duke moving forward? PM: I have no idea. My interests are in experimental research. My lab is quite small now, and this has permitted me to go back and do experiments myself, which I enjoy tremendously. My intent is not to let this impact my ability to get back in the lab. I’d like to get back as soon as possible. Editor’s Note: This story originally appeared in the Oct. 19 edition of The Chronicle.

NOBEL from page 8 G-protein-coupled receptors. “I have to say this acknowledgment is shared by graduate students and others in my lab. I want to thank the biochemistry department at Duke for giving me a scientific home,” Modrich said during a press conference held Wednesday at UNC to honor the Nobel Prize winners. Modrich called into the conference while away on vacation in New Hampshire. Modrich has been a Duke faculty member since 1976 and has studied the molecular machinery of DNA for most of his career, prompting Richard Brennan, James B. Duke professor of biochemistry and chair of the biochemistry department, to describe him as “a homegrown Duke biochemist.” Modrich’s discovery of the mismatch repair mechanism demonstrated how errors made during DNA replication are corrected and paved the way for further understanding of cancer and many other diseases. “This is the most exciting kind of honor that any university can get,” said Michael Schoenfeld, vice president for public affairs and government relations. “The fact that Professor Modrich was elected for the most prestigious science prize in the world is a great

honor for him, but also a great honor and reflected glory to Duke and to all of the faculty and students who have worked with him over the years.” Nancy Andrews, dean of the School of Medicine, noted that Modrich’s work “is of fundamental importance to understanding cancer and other serious diseases.” “This is an extremely proud moment for Paul and his laboratory and for all of Duke and shines a spotlight once again on the outstanding science here,” she wrote in an email. Although the applications of Modrich’s work to cancer medicine and many other fields of biomedical research are significant, Lefkowitz noted that Modrich’s win is also a boost for basic science, which is the pursuit of understanding essential scientific processes and phenomena without focusing on immediate applications or treatments for diseases. “It is simply driven by the curiosity of a scientist to understand a basic process,” he said.

in four years, Lefkowitz expressed his hope that the number of Nobel Laureates coming out of Duke might start to catch up to that of the older top-10 universities. “It’s impressive—we’ve never had anybody and now we have two,” he said. Despite the close proximity of two of this year’s Nobel Prize winners and the academic collaboration between Duke and UNC, Dr. Michael Kastan, executive director of the Duke Cancer Institute, noted at the press conference that having two researchers from Duke and UNC in the same field win the same award is a coincidence. Modrich’s and Sancar’s work with different DNA repair mechanisms was independent, though Sancar, Sarah Graham Kenan professor of biochemistry and biophysics at UNC, said at the press conference that they have published three papers together and are friends. Sancar also noted that he has nominated Modrich for the Nobel Prize in each of the past 10 years. “Even though we all hate Duke, I was expecting Paul [Modrich] to get it,” Sancar joked. Second win Schoenfeld said the awards reflect not only the strength of Robert Lefkowitz said that becoming the first Nobel laureate research at Duke, but the strength of research in the Triangle area. at Duke was a “remarkable experience that changed [his] life.” “It’s a very exciting day for Duke, and it’s equally exciting As Modrich is the second Duke faculty member to win the award because one of the other recipients is a professor at UNC,” Schoenfeld said.

On view through September 18, 2016

The importance of basic science Modrich has been an investigator at the Howard Hughes Medical Institute—a nonprofit organization with an endowment of $19 billion dedicated to funding scientists—since 1994. HHMI Senior Scientific Officer Bodo Stern explained that the mission of the HHMI is to provide long-term support to scientists, rather than focus on specific projects. “We supported his work in studying the basics of mismatch repair, and nobody could’ve guessed that it would have had anything to do with cancer, but it laid the foundation to find later that these proteins are important in colon cancer,” he said. Kastan described the implications of Modrich’s work in colon cancer at the press conference Wednesday. Researchers reflect Given the essential role mismatch on the applications repair plays in correcting DNA errors, defects in this mechanism are the of basic science. cause of the most common form of hereditary colon cancer and may also lead to certain neurodegenerative diseases and other cancers. The other researchers who received the prize discovered related mechanisms for DNA repair. Lindahl’s research provided the initial insight that DNA requires more complex repair mechanisms than were previously known. He also discovered a type of repair mechanism known as base excision—in which pieces of DNA are removed during the repair process. Sancar’s research focused on DNA repair in response to ultraviolet radiation damage.

3:15 – 4:15pm | Student For A Day #2 – “Survival of the Friendliest: What Animals Tell Us About Being Human”

The only way to understand what it is to be human is to know what it is like to be not human. I will share research comparing our mind to that of the bonobo and chimpanzee as well as more distant relatives like the dog. Revealing the secrets of these species’ inner lives helps us understand exactly what it is about our species that is truly unique. It also helps us understand how the human mind came to be. To find the answers I will take you on a journey ranging from the dense tropical forests of the Congo Basin to the steppes of Siberia. When we finally arrive, we all will confront the same question: are humans really as different as we think? Brian Hare is an associate professor of evolutionary anthropology and a member of the Center for Cognitive Neuroscience, a division of the Duke Institute for Brain Sciences. He received his Ph.D. from Harvard University, founded the Hominoid Psychology Research Group while at the Max Planck Institute for Evolutionary Anthropology in Leipzig, Germany, and subsequently founded the Duke Canine Cognition Center.
