Congratulations to Zane Gibbs for receiving the 2020 Alfred and Mabel Gilman Memorial Awards for Excellence in Research for Student of the Year!
Zane discovered the mechanism by which the testis factor ZNF165, which gets re-activated in triple negative breast cancer cells, regulates an oncogenic SMAD3 TGFbeta signaling network. In addition to a cash prize, his name will be engraved on the Alfred and Mabel Gilman Memorial Awards plaque located at the Pharmacology office.
