The American Cancer Society funded several grants to Dr. Ambros between 1980-1990 as well as a faculty research award grant to Dr. Ruvkun from 1991-1995. Much of this funded work was a precursor to Victor Ambros’ and Gary Ruvkun’s seminal discovery. We’re ecstatic to see them recognized for this honor!
