Jill Trewhella is Deputy Vice-Chancellor for Research (since 2009) and Professor in the School of Molecular Bioscience at The University of Sydney having returned to Australia in 2005 as an ARC Federation Fellow. The major focus of her research has been to understand the structural basis for regulation of enzyme activation and bio-molecular signalling. Trewhella received her B.Sc. (1975) and M.Sc. (1978) in Physics from the University of New South Wales and her Ph.D. (1981) in Chemistry from the University of Sydney. She went to the USA in 1980 to complete post doctoral studies at Yale University in Biophysics and Biochemistry, and in 1984 she joined Los Alamos National Laboratory to establish a structural molecular biology program centred at the spallation neutron source there. She was the first woman to be named Laboratory Fellow (1995) at Los Alamos in recognition of sustained outstanding contributions to science and technology. She is also a Fellow of the American Association for the Advancement of Science and of the Neutron Scattering Society of America and served as secretary of the Biophysical Society. |
