Susan J. Baserga is an American physician who is the William H. Fleming Professor of Molecular Biophysics and Biochemistry at Yale University. Her research considers the molecular basis of ribosomes, and the mechanistic basis of inherited human disease.

Early life and education

[edit]

Baserga's father, Renato Baserga, was a pathologist and cancer researcher.[1] In 1977, Baserga became inspired by pre-RNA splicing. As an MD–PhD candidate, Baserga studied nonsense-mediated decay mammalian cells. She moved to Joan A. Steitz's laboratory at Yale University, where she started working on ribosome biogenesis.[citation needed]

Research and career

[edit]

Baserga started her academic career at Yale in 1993. She was promoted to professor in 2007.[citation needed] Her research sought to identify how ribosome production is regulated in mammalian cells. She uses Xenopus tropicalis as a model system for ribosomopathies, and is interested in Fanconi anemia repair factors.[1]

In 2020, Baserga was named the William H. Fleming Professor of Molecular Biophysics and Biochemistry.[2] She is the Chair of the American Society for Biochemistry and Molecular Biology Women in Biochemistry and Molecular Biology Committee.[3] In 2023, she joned the National Academies of Sciences, Engineering, and Medicine Committee on RNA modifications, "Towards Sequencing and Mapping of RNA Modifications".[4]
