Suzanne Ruth Pfeffer is an American neuroscientist who is a professor at Stanford University.[2] Her research investigates the molecular mechanisms that cause receptors to be transported between membrane compartments in cells, and she is an expert in Rab GTPases[3][4][5] and the molecular basis of inherited Parkinson's disease.[1] She is a Fellow of the American Association for the Advancement of Science, American Academy of Arts and Sciences and the American Society for Cell Biology.[6]
Early life and education[edit]
Pfeffer has said that she became interested in human physiology as a child. She was an undergraduate student at the University of California, Berkeley, where she became interested in biochemistry.[7] She worked with Michael Chamberlin on binding of Escherichia coli polymerase to T7 DNA polymerase.[8] She moved to the University of California, San Francisco for her graduate studies, where she worked with Regis B. Kelly on synaptic vessels.[7] Her doctoral research investigated the role of coated vesicles in intracellular transport.[9]
Research and career[edit]
After her PhD, she moved to Stanford University as a Hay Whitney postdoctoral fellow, where she worked with James Rothman on Golgi transport.[7][10]
Pfeffer set up her own research program at Stanford University, where she was the first woman to be appointed to the department of biochemistry.[7] Her research investigates the fundamental mechanisms of membrane trafficking.[citation needed]
