| Susan V. Bryant received her
BSc degree from King's College London University, and
her Ph.D. from St. Mary's Hospital Medical School London
University in 1967. She did her postdoctoral studies with
Marcus Singer at Case Western Reserve University in Cleveland
Ohio, and in 1969, took a faculty position at a new campus
of the University of California, UC, Irvine. At Irvine,
she has been a member and Chair of the Department of Developmental
and Cell Biology, and a member of the Developmental Biology
Center. Since 2000, she has served as Dean of the hundred-plus
strong School of Biological Sciences. She is a fellow
of the American Association for the Advancement of Science,
and serves on the Advisory Boards of the Veterans Administration
Office of Regeneration Programs, the Indiana University
Axolotl Colony, and ARCS, Orange County. She is on the
editorial boards of Developmental Biology, Regenerative
Medicine and Journal of Experimental Zoology. She is married
to David Gardiner, her long-time collaborator, and they
have three children, Drew (25), Michael (19) and Sara
(17). Her early research established the regenerating
vertebrate limb as a model for pattern formation. Using
now classic grafting experiments to uncover the underlying
logic of limb pattern formation, she and her collaborators
developed the polar coordinate model for pattern formation.
In recent years, in collaboration with David, the lab
has investigated the expression and in some cases, the
function, of numerous genes in regeneration. Current research
is aimed at identifying the key signals that lead limb
cells into the regeneration pathway. |
