Congratulation to Dr. LEE, Wen-Hwa for receiving the TWAS 2018 fellowship.
The World Academy of Sciences recognizes Dr. Lee as "a pioneer of tumor suppressor in cancer biology. He identified the first tumor suppressor gene, RB and showed that re-introduction of the gene suppressed neoplasm. He also elucidated the function of two breast cancer susceptibility genes, BRCA-1 and 2, in modulating genomic stability. "
