Kathy Gould awarded $10K prize for achievement in research
Vanderbilt’s most prestigious faculty honor for accomplishments in research, scholarship or creative expression was awarded to Kathy Gould during Fall Faculty Assembly Aug. 23.
Gould, the Louise B. McGavock Chair, professor of cell and developmental biology, and associate dean for biomedical sciences, received the Earl Sutherland Prize for Achievement in Research.
Gould’s research focuses on the division of cells, the fundamental unit of all living things. She is one of the world’s foremost scientists working on the last step in cell division—the separation of cells. When this process goes wrong, cells die or cancer occurs.
