Elspeth Garman is Professor of Molecular Biophysics, Department of Biochemistry, University of Oxford and Nicholas Kurti Senior Research Fellow in Macromolecular Crystallography, Brasenose College, Oxford.[1] She is also a former president of the British Crystallographic Association.[1][2]

Education and career[edit]

Nuclear physics[edit]

Garman earned her BSc in Physics at Durham University in 1976, then joining the Nuclear Physics Department at Oxford University as a SERC-funded postgraduate. She gained her D.Phil in 1980 with a thesis on "Inelastic Alpha Particle Scattering from Oxygen 16 and Medium Mass Nuclei in the Incident Energy Range 7 - 18 MeV".[1][3] After seven years at the Nuclear Physics Department, she changed fields in August 1987 to biophysics, joining the Laboratory of Molecular Biophysics at Oxford.[1]
