Dr. Jaquelin Dudley, professor of molecular genetics and microbiology, has been elected a fellow in the American Academy of Microbiology.
Dudley studies how retroviruses cause mammary tumors in mice, which is a model for breast cancer in humans. She’s been developing a vector system for gene therapy of breast cancer, and in the process, her lab discovered a new viral protein that might help them study HIV.
Fellows of the American Academy of Microbiology are elected annually through a highly selective, peer-reviewed process, based on their records of scientific achievement and original contributions that have advanced microbiology. There are now over 2,000 fellows representing all subspecialties of microbiology, including basic and applied research, teaching, public health, industry and government service.
