Education and Career

Sloane was born in 1944 in Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania. [1] Sloane has a B.S. (1966) [1] and an M.A. (1968) from Duke University (1966). She earned her Ph.D. from Rutgers University in 1976. Following her Ph.D. she did postdoctoral work at the University of Pennsylvania, [2] and in 1979 was an assistant professor at the University of Pennsylvania. She then moved to Michigan State University where she was an assistant professor from 1979 until 1980 when she moved to Wayne State University as an assistant professor in the Department of Pharmacology. She was promoted to associate professor in 1984 and to professor in 1989, and in 2005 she was named distinguished professor. [1] From 1995 until 2015, she served as chair of the Department of Pharmacology, the first woman to serve as chair of a department in the Wayne State University School of Medicine.

From 2009 until 2011, Sloane was president of the Association of Medical Pharmacology, the first woman to serve in this role. [3]

Research

Sloane is known for her research on cancer, especially breast cancer. Her research has examined cathepsins [4] [5] and proteases [6] associated with cancer. She has also used imaging with fluorescent probes to track the activity of proteases. [7]
