Shirley Tillman is a Canadian. 1968 She got a bachelor's degree in chemistry from Queen's University in Canada. After working as a middle school teacher in Sierra Leone, West Africa for two years, she received a doctorate in biochemistry from Temple University in Philadelphia. After that, Shirley Tillman entered the National Institutes of Health for postdoctoral research and achieved a series of scientific research successes that shocked the industry. She participated in the first mammalian gene replication project. Later, she conducted independent research at the Philadelphia Cancer Institute and made many important scientific breakthroughs. Then Shirley Tillman entered the University of Pennsylvania as an assistant professor of human genetics, biochemistry and biophysics.

1986 Shirley Tillman entered Princeton University as a professor of life sciences; Two years later, he became a researcher at Howard Hughes Medical Institute. From 65438 to 0998, Shirley Tillman became the director of the Institute of Genetics at Princeton University.

Shirley Tillman is a member of the National Research Council of the United States and participated in the formulation of the blueprint for the development of human genetic engineering in the United States. At the same time, Shirley Tillman is a founding member of the Human Genetic Engineering Advisory Committee under the National Institutes of Health.

Shirley Tillman is not only famous for her rich academic research, but also a leading figure of American female scientists. She is committed to helping young scientists achieve scientific research results. From 65438 to 0998, Shirley Tillman published a paper entitled "Career Trends of Life Scientists" at the meeting held by the National Research Council, which attracted national attention. She helped many scholars to join the biological science selection Committee of Pierre Charitable Trust.

From 1993 to 2000, Shirley Tillman played an important role in the Science and Technology Committee of Princeton University, which encouraged science and technology education and training for non-science and technology majors. 1996 won the "Principal Award" for outstanding teaching in Princeton University.
