LCID Associate Director Dr. Jaquelin Dudley, along with 10 other UT-Austin faculty, was recently elected a Fellow of the American Association for the Advancement of Science (AAAS), the world’s largest general scientific society.
The honor recognizes Fellows for their extraordinary achievements across disciplines in the fields of science, technology, engineering and mathematics and includes pioneering research, leadership in a particular field, fostering collaborations, and advancing public understanding of science.
Dr. Dudley's research focuses on mammary tumor virus (MMTV), a virus that causes cancer in mice, which could shed light on human diseases, including HIV/AIDS, cancer and neurodegeneration. She is also developing a gene therapy for breast cancer that could potentially be more specific and less toxic than existing treatments.
