Jane's contributions in the research lab of Dr. Gerry Weinmaster resulted in the "discovery of fundamental properties of a key molecular signaling system involved with development, cancer and cardiovascular disease." In collaboration with UC Irvine's Elliot Botvinick, these findings were published in the journal Developmental Cell. (Courtesy of UCLA Newsroom)
