Shirley A. Pomponi

Shirley Ann Pomponi is an American marine biologist who studies sea sponges. Pomponi found a ''Discodermia dissoluta'' specimen in 1987, and a compound from it was used as a cancer drug. Her research on sponges led to the anti-herpes medicine Zovirax being created, and her research on cone snails led to the pain killer Prialt being created. She won multiple awards for her work.
