Susan Strome (* 1952 ) is an American cell and developmental biologist at the University of California, Santa Cruz .
Strome earned a bachelor's degree from the University of New Mexico and a Ph.D. in 1979 from Elton T. Young at the University of Washington with his thesis Translational control of bacteriophage T7 gene expression. , as a postdoctoral fellow with Bill Wood at the University of Colorado Boulder . She had her first own research group at Indiana University Bloomington and went through the academic career from assistant professor to associate professor to full professorship. She took sabbaticals at the University of Wisconsin – Madison and the University of California, Santa Cruz. In 2007 she moved to this university, where she is (as of 2019) Distinguished Professor of MCD Biology (molecular, cell and developmental biology).
During her time as a postdoc , Strome discovered P granules , organelles of cell polarity in cells of the germ line in C. elegans . Her laboratory studies the primordial germ cells and the germ line (during which egg cells and sperm cells develop), especially the molecular processes that lead to their “immortality”, their totipotency and their ability to maintain their cellular identity. She continues to use C. elegans as a model organism .
In 1998, Strome had a Guggenheim grant . In 2010 she was elected to the American Academy of Arts and Sciences , and in 2019 to the National Academy of Sciences . She is one of the editors of the journal Development .
Susan Strome is married with two children.
