Susan Strome is a Distinguished Professor of Molecular, Cell, and Developmental Biology at the University of California Santa Cruz.^[1] Strome received a B.A. degree in chemistry from University of New Mexico and a Ph.D. in biochemistry from the University of Washington, as well as post-graduate work at the University of Colorado Boulder. Strome is a member of the American Academy of Arts and Sciences and the National Academy of Sciences.^[2]

Strome received a Guggenheim Fellowship in 1998.^[3]

Strome's work in developmental genetics investigates how germ cells are established and maintain identity, immortality, and potency from parent to offspring. Her research uses Caenorhabditis elegans, a worm, as a model system.
