The American Society for Cell Biology (ASCB) is honoring Mina Bissell, Distinguished Scientist in the Biological Systems & Engineering Division, for her lifetime contributions to cell biology. In recognition of her key discovery that the role of the tumor microenvironment plays a part in the development of breast cancer, Bissell will receive their highest scientific honor, the E.B. Wilson Medal, at the ASCB Annual Meeting in San Francisco this December. This latest accolade comes just months after Bissell received the 2015 STS/CSS Honorary Medal from the Signal Transduction Society (STS) and the STS Journal Cell Communication and Signaling (CSS) in Weimar, Germany, as well as the Ernst Bertner Memorial Award from MD Anderson Cancer Center.
