Mello, Shelley Blais, and UMass Medical School Chancellor and Dean Aaron Lazare at a press event following the announcement that Dr. Mello was awarded The Nobel Prize in Physiology or Medicine for 2006. In 2003, Dr. Mello's work so inspired philanthropists John F. "Jack" Blais and wife Shelley that they made a $3 million gift to establish the Blais University Chair in Molecular Medicine to assist Mello in his future research endeavors.
