Zhijian “James” Chen is receiving the prize for his discoveries about the immune system, including cGAS, which "acts as the body’s burglar alarm to trigger defense from invading pathogens," UTSW said. Numerous winners of the Japan Prize have gone on to win the Nobel Prize for their achievements.
Russell DeBose-Boyd, Ph.D., professor of molecular genetics and the Beatrice and Miguel Elias Distinguished Chair in Biomedical Science, and Duojia Pan, Ph.D., chair of physiology and a Howard Hughes Medical Institute Investigator, were elected by their peers in recognition of the importance of their scientific discoveries, UT Southwestern said.
