Glenna Shirleen Roeder is a geneticist known for identifying and characterizing the yeast genes that regulate the process of meiosis with particular emphasis on synapsis.

Education and career

Roeder has a B.Sc. from Dalhousie University (1973)[1] [2] and earned her Ph.D. in 1978 from the University of Toronto.[3] Following her Ph.D. she was a postdoctoral fellow at Cornell University before moving to the faculty at Yale University in 1981.[4] In 2001 she was named the Eugene Higgins Professor of Genetics in the Molecular, Cellular, and Developmental Biology Department at Yale University. Roeder retired in 2012[1] and, as of 2021, she is Professor Emeritus at Yale University.[5]

Research

Roeder used budding yeast as a model system to examine meiosis. She discovered the Zip1 protein,[6] and discovered two distinct processes that regulate the recombination between chromosomes in meiosis and also a process inhibiting recombination.[7]

Selected publications

Awards and honors

In 1984, Roeder received a Young Investigator award from the National Science Foundation.[8] She was named an HHMI investigator in 1997,[9] and was elected to the National Academy of Sciences in 2009. In 2010, she was chosen as a Fellow of the American Association for the Advancement of Science[10] and elected to the American Academy of Microbiology.[11] [12]
