Amy Andreotti
Andreotti is a University Professor and the Roy J. Carver Chair in Biochemistry. Since joining the ISU faculty in 1997, her work in structural immunology has been published in leading scientific journals and has been supported by the National Institutes of Health. Her research group is recognized for applying sophisticated biophysical tools to the study of immune protein function with major contributions in understanding the mechanisms of immune regulation and drug resistance. Andreotti sits on the National Advisory Committee for the Pew Charitable Trust, serves as a senior editor for eLife, and loves to inspire undergraduate students by sharing the beauty and intricacies of the biological molecules that form living systems.
She received her bachelor's degree in chemistry and studio art from Bowdoin College, a Ph.D. in chemistry from Princeton University, and conducted postdoctoral training at Harvard University.
