Susan Lowey (born 22 January 1933 in Vienna) is an American biophysicist researching the structure and function of contractile proteins. She currently teaches in the Department of Molecular Physiology & Biophysics at the University of Vermont and is a fellow of the American Academy of Arts and Sciences as well as the Biophysical Society.
Education
editLowey received her BA from Barnard College,[1] PhD in Physical Chemistry from Yale University and pursued post-doctoral research at Harvard University[2] on the biochemistry and structure of myosin, a protein involved in muscle contraction.[citation needed]
Career
editLowey was employed for about a decade at the Children's Cancer Research Foundation and Harvard Medical School.[2] In 1972, Lowey became a faculty member at The Rosenstiel Basic Medical Sciences Research Center, Brandeis University to collaborate with biophysicists.[2][3] In 1998, Lowey was appointed as a faculty member in the Department of Molecular Physiology & Biophysics at the University of Vermont.[2][3]
