She's also an Established Investigator of the American Heart Association and received a Senior Research Award from the American Cancer Society.

The new class will be inducted at a ceremony on Oct. 11 at the Academy's headquarters in Cambridge, Mass.
Founded in 1780 by John Adams, James Bowdoin, John Hancock and other scholar-patriots, the academy has elected as members the finest minds and most influential leaders from each generation, including George Washington and Benjamin Franklin in the 18th century, Daniel Webster and Ralph Waldo Emerson in the 19th, and Albert Einstein and Winston Churchill in the 20th.
