👥Biography 个人简介

Stanley Cohen shared the 1986 Nobel Prize for discovering epidermal growth factor (EGF) and its receptor (EGFR). This foundational discovery launched the entire field of growth factor signaling in cancer, as EGFR became one of the most important targets in oncology — with drugs like cetuximab, gefitinib, erlotinib, and osimertinib directly targeting the EGF signaling axis across multiple cancer types.
