CPUB 2000 Keynote Speaker
Susan Lindquist, Ph.D.
Susan Lindquist, Ph.D., professor of Molecular Genetics & Cell Biology, is currently an investigator at the Howard Hughes Medical Institute at the University of Chicago where she is studying molecular mechanisms involving heat shock proteins. She completed a Bachelor of Arts in microbiology from the University of Illinois. From there, she went on to obtain her Ph.D. in biology from Harvard University. Susan later became a teaching fellow in the Department of Biology at Harvard University and a postdoctoral fellow with the American Cancer Society at the University of Chicago. She has achieved many honors including induction to the National Academy of Sciences and American Academy of Arts and Sciences. She is also a fellow for the American Academy of Microbiology and the secretary for Genetics Society of America. Susan currently has 119 publications, 80 of which have appeared in refereed journals such as Science, Nature, The Proceedings of the National Academy of Sciences, Cell and the Journal of Cell Biology. "The heat-shock proteins", a review she wrote with E. Craig, was acknowledged as one of the 10 most cited papers in the field of genetics in 1990. Susan has been an author of 2 published books, The Stress Induced Proteins and Heat Shock. In addition, she has 2 patents pending. Susan also significantly contributes to extra-university services by participating in grants and sponsoring programs, organizing meetings and other activities. She serves on many editorial and advisory boards. She completes 5-10 ad hoc reviews for granting agencies such as The National Institutes of Health, The National Science Foundation, The March of Dimes Foundation and others, each year. Susan has organized and founded different meetings, including the Midwest Drosophila Conference. She has also acted as a consultant and principle in "Lights Breaking", a film on recombinant DNA technology. The film received the Gold Medal for Best Short Science Film at the San Francisco Film Festival and the Silver Medal for Best Short Science Film at the New York Film Festival in 1985. Susan is a very talented and accomplished woman and Clarion University of Pennsylvania is very pleased to present her to you at the 2000 Commonwealth of Pennsylvania University Biologists annual meeting.
