Victor Ling is world- renowned for his work in cancer research. Last year he received both the Dr. Josef Steiner Prize in Europe and the General Motors Kettering Prize - recognized as the top international award for cancer research - at a June dinner in Washington, D.C. Ling helped discover how cancer cells resist the effects of tumor-destroying drugs by using a tiny protein. The protein ejects drugs from the cell before they have time to act. Ling spent years refining and confirming the discovery, which has sparked a search for the right decoy drug capable of fooling the protein and allowing cancer-fighting drugs to slip in for the kill.
