Natalie C. J. Strynadka FRS[1] is a Professor of Biochemistry in the Department of Biochemistry and Molecular Biology at the University of British Columbia.[12][13][14][15][16]

Education

Strynadka was educated at the University of Alberta where she was awarded a PhD in 1990.[17] Her thesis committee included Michael N.G. James and Sir David Chilton Phillips.[17]

Awards and honours

Strynadka was elected a Fellow of the Royal Society (FRS) in 2015. Her certificate of election reads:[1]

Natalie Strynadka is a pioneer in the study of proteins and protein assemblies essential to bacterial pathogenicity and antibiotic resistance. Her agenda-setting dissection of the membrane assemblies involved in infection, virulence and bacterial cell wall synthesis is having major impact in the development of therapeutic agents; both antibiotics and vaccines.
