13. Directors and executive officers — Kathleen Danenberg.

    Prior to her work at USC, Ms. Danenberg received her B.S. in biochemistry from the University of Wisconsin.

    B.S. in biochemistry, University of Wisconsin–Madison. Her LinkedIn education section gives 'Bachelor of Science (BS), Biochemistry and Molecular Biology, University of Wisconsin-Madison' and it is her only listed degree; Response Genetics' proxy statement says the same in the formal register. No year is published on either. This is also where she and Peter V. Danenberg overlap: he was at the McArdle Laboratory and the Wisconsin Clinical Cancer Center in Madison 1970–76, and they married in Los Angeles in 1966, so she was most likely a Madison student in those years.

21. Inhibition of hexokinase by multisubstrate analogs.

    Inhibition of hexokinase by multisubstrate analogs. Peter V. Danenberg, Kathleen D. Danenberg

    She was publishing science with Peter from the 1970s, twenty years before she founded Response Genetics: Danenberg PV, Danenberg KD, "Inhibition of hexokinase by multisubstrate analogs", Biochimica et Biophysica Acta 473 (1977); and Danenberg PV, Danenberg KD, Biochemistry 17 (1978), 4018–4024. She is also thanked by name in his 1983 Journal of Biological Chemistry paper "for assistance with thymidine kinase assays". This matters for her biography: the company she built in 1999 rested on a quarter-century of her own bench work, not only his.

22. 126 indexed publications.

    "count":"126"

    126 publications indexed in PubMed under 'Danenberg KD'. Response Genetics' 2008 proxy credits her with 'over 100 scientific publications'. Many are co-authored with her husband; the pair 'Danenberg, K., Danenberg, P.' is a standing citation in the quantitative-PCR literature.

23. Extracting RNA from Formalin-Fixed Paraffin-Embedded Tissue — University of Southern California.

    The method of extracting RNA from formalin-fixed paraffin-embedded tissues was developed in 2000 by University of Southern California researchers Kathleen Danenberg, Ph.D., Peter Danenberg, Ph.D. and Stephen Swenson, Ph.D. … Response Genetics, a biotechnology company in Los Angeles, holds the exclusive license and has invested approximately $13 million to further develop the process.

    The invention her career turns on. With her husband Peter V. Danenberg and Stephen (Steven) Swenson, she devised a way to get usable RNA out of formalin-fixed, paraffin-embedded tissue — the way hospital pathology archives store tumour samples. Until then RNA could only be had from fresh-frozen tissue, so decades of archived tumours were genetically unreadable. USC licensed it exclusively to Response Genetics, which put about $13 million into developing it; partners included Hitachi, GlaxoSmithKline, Roche and Eli Lilly. AUTM, the technology-transfer association, chose it for its Better World Project in 2008 as an invention that changed practice. Patent priority 20 Dec 1999 / 1 Dec 2000.

24. 39 patent documents.

    "total_num_results": 39

    39 patent documents name her as inventor on Google Patents, across US, European, Australian, Japanese, New Zealand, Canadian, Hong Kong and Chinese filings. The granted US ones: US 6,518,416 B1 (RNA from FFPE tissue, Response Genetics, issued 11 Feb 2003); US 6,573,052 B2 and US 6,602,670 B2 (chemotherapy regimen from ERCC1 expression, 2003); US 6,582,919 B2 (EGFR and HER2-neu gene expression, 2003); US 7,998,707 B2 (quantitative gene expression from fixed paraffin-embedded tissue, USC, 2011); US 7,919,280 B2 (DNA, RNA and protein isolation from FFPE tissue, with Peter V. Danenberg and Steven Swenson, USC, 2011); US 8,026,062 B2 (2011); US 8,323,890 B2 (high-throughput DNA methylation analysis, USC, 2012); US 8,586,311 B2 (ERCC1 and TS expression, 2013).

25. Management — Executive Officers and Directors.

    Name Age Position … Kathleen Danenberg 60 Director, Chief Executive Officer and President

    Age 60 in the table of executive officers and directors of Response Genetics, Inc.'s IPO prospectus, dated 6 June 2007. That puts her birth between June 1946 and June 1947 and so agrees with the 1947 we already hold. It is the strongest public, legally-responsible statement of her age there is.

26. 2008 proxy statement — Security Ownership of Certain Beneficial Owners and Management.

    Includes of 426,108 shares of common stock jointly owned by Ms. Danenberg and her husband, Peter Danenberg.

    'Includes of 426,108 shares of common stock jointly owned by Ms. Danenberg and her husband, Peter Danenberg' — Response Genetics' 2008 proxy, and again in 2011 ('Mrs. Danenberg and her husband, Peter Danenberg'). A sworn public statement that they are married and hold jointly, 42 and 45 years after the 23 April 1966 Los Angeles marriage already in the tree.

27. Departure of Directors or Principal Officers; Appointment of Principal Officers.

    Kathleen Danenberg, who previously held the position of President of the Company, will continue to act as Chief Executive Officer of the Company. … By: /s/ Kathleen Danenberg Name: Kathleen Danenberg Title: Chief Executive Officer

    Christine Meda was appointed President of Response Genetics effective 4 February 2011; Kathleen, who had held that title, continued as Chief Executive Officer. She signed the 8-K reporting it.

28. Response Genetics Announces Search for New CEO — Kathleen Danenberg to Continue as Founder and Executive Scientific and Technology Officer.

    On July 22, 2011, Kathleen Danenberg stepped down from the position of CEO and was appointed by the Board of Directors to serve as Founder and Executive Scientific and Technology Officer of the Company to focus her attention on RGI's scientific research and development activities.

    She stepped down as CEO of Response Genetics on 22 July 2011 and the board appointed her 'Founder and Executive Scientific and Technology Officer', to go back to the science. The chairman, Kirk K. Calhoun: 'We are very grateful for Kathleen Danenberg's leadership and acknowledge her numerous contributions to RGI starting from the beginning of the Company in 1999. Her patented research breakthroughs have been instrumental in making RGI what it is today.' She stood for re-election to the board that September.

29. Līga Danenberg's GoFundMe post.

    Hello friends, I created a GoFundMe to help my parents as they begin to rebuild after they lost their home in the Altadena fire. … GOFUNDME.COM — Donate to Help Danenberg's Rebuild after Lost Everything in Eaton Fire, organized by Liga Danenberg

    SHE AND PETER LOST THEIR ALTADENA HOUSE IN THE EATON FIRE of 7–8 January 2025 — [address omitted], the address on her own SEC filer record (CIK 0001401803) from 2007 to 2012 and in the family's MyHeritage data. Their daughter Līga set up a GoFundMe for them, "Help Danenberg's Rebuild after Lost Everything in Eaton Fire", and posted it to her school alumni group in January 2025: "Hello friends, I created a GoFundMe to help my parents as they begin to rebuild after they lost their home in the Altadena fire. If you are able to contribute or share it would be greatly appreciated! Thank you so all much!" Seven reactions, one comment. The GoFundMe page itself is no longer in GoFundMe's search index and its URL is not exposed in the Facebook card; four guessed slugs returned 404 (logged in ../liga-irene-danenberg/raw/fetch-log.tsv).
