“‘There is our animal room, down the hall. Go learn about mice and tumors.’ Needing no further encouragement, Mike proceeded to do just that.”
—Advice given to Michael Potter upon his arrival at NIH by his boss, Lloyd Law, as related by Stuart Rudikoff and J. Frederic Mushinski in their biographical memoir of Potter (NAS, 2013).

This is the mouse room of the Carcinogenesis Section in the National Cancer Institute's Laboratory of Biology, led by Lloyd Law, when Potter joined in 1954. Law was among the first to use combination chemotherapy in leukemia. The use of inbred, genetically similar mice enabled scientists to transplant tumors from one mouse to the next and create a continuous line of identical tumors. Such tumor lines allowed researchers such as Potter to study them in depth in a controlled setting.
