| Susan Strome grew up and did her undergraduate training in New Mexico. She attended graduate school at the University of Washington (1974-79), working with Ted Young on translational control in phage T7-infected bacteria. Her research on the nematode C. elegans began when she started her postdoc at the University of Colorado (1979-84) working with Bill Wood. Her serendipitous discovery of antibodies to germ granules was the impetus that launched her interest in embryo segregation mechanisms and in the germ line. In 1984, Dr. Strome moved to take up an assistant professor position in the Department of Biology at Indiana University (IU). Her laboratory at IU continues to investigate germ granule composition and function, and has also embarked upon analysis of chromatin regulation in the germ line, with a specific focus on the roles of enzymes that both modify histones and regulate the chromatin state of the autosomes vs. X chromosomes. |
