Shirley Tilghman Wins GSA Medal

By Trevor | January 20, 2007

Princeton University President Shirley M. Tilghman has been awarded the Genetics Society of America Medal, which recognizes a scientist’s outstanding contributions to genetics over the past 15 years.

Tilghman was nominated for her pioneering work in epigenetics and imprinting, which has expanded the knowledge base about embryo development in mammals.

Tilghman published many papers characterizing the imprinted H19 and IGF2 genes, many of which can be seen here.

Jane Gitschier interviewed Shirley Tilghman last year in an article for PLoS Genetics. Link
