Tony’s interactome

Thinking about how things work“None of the progress that I have made has been achieved solely as an individual. As I have mentioned, I was trained by brilliant and inspiring mentors, and I have had the benefit of a collegial group of scientists around the world, who have made the field of cell signaling exceptionally enjoyable and productive. I could have done nothing without the dedication, insights and hard work of outstanding students and postdoctoral fellows, many of whom are now highly successful independent scientists in their own right.” Kyoto Prize speech
