Judith Frydman

Biochemist

Judith Frydman is a biochemist and the Donald Kennedy Chair in the School of Humanities & Sciences and Professor of Genetics at Stanford University. Her research focuses on protein folding.

Career

Frydman attended the University of Buenos Aires, earning a PhD in biochemistry. After graduating, she did a postdoctoral fellowship in the lab of Ulrich Hartl at Memorial Sloan Kettering. She is currently the Donald Kennedy Chair in the School of Humanities & Sciences and Professor of Genetics at Stanford University.[1]

Her research focuses on protein folding. Her laboratory discovered the molecular chaperone TRiC/CCT and determined its mechanism and function for protein folding.[2]

She was elected as a Fellow of the American Academy of Arts & Sciences in 2018,[3] and as a Fellow of the Biophysical Society in 2019.[4] In 2017, she was given the American Society for Biochemistry and Molecular Biology–Merck Award.[5] She is an editor of the Journal of Cell Biology.[6]

In 2021, she was elected member of the U. S. National Academy of Sciences.[7]
