Anita Roberts

Molecular biologist Anita Roberts was born in 1942 in Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania. Roberts' research focused on TGF-Beta, which plays an important role in both cancer and wound healing, and her work has helped form the basis for new breast cancer treatment approaches.

Anita Roberts died in 2006 at the age of 64.
