<p><b>New page</b></p><div>[[File:Wickner,_sue.jpg|thumb|Wickner, sue]] '''Sue Wickner''' is an American biochemist known for her significant contributions to the field of [[molecular biology]]. She is a senior investigator at the [[National Cancer Institute]] (NCI), which is part of the [[National Institutes of Health]] (NIH).<br />
<br />
== Early Life and Education ==<br />
Sue Wickner was born in [[New York City]]. She earned her [[Bachelor of Science]] degree in [[Biology]] from [[Cornell University]]. She then pursued her [[Ph.D.]] in [[Biochemistry]] at the [[Albert Einstein College of Medicine]].<br />
<br />
== Career ==<br />
After completing her Ph.D., Wickner joined the [[National Cancer Institute]] as a postdoctoral fellow. She later became a senior investigator at the NCI, where she has conducted groundbreaking research in the areas of [[protein folding]], [[molecular chaperones]], and [[DNA replication]].<br />
<br />
== Research Contributions ==<br />
Wickner's research has focused on understanding the mechanisms of [[protein folding]] and the role of [[molecular chaperones]] in this process. Her work has provided insights into the function of [[chaperone proteins]] such as [[Hsp70]] and [[ClpB]], which are essential for maintaining cellular protein homeostasis.<br />
<br />
One of her notable contributions is the study of the [[AAA+ ATPase]] family of proteins, which are involved in various cellular processes including [[DNA replication]], [[transcription]], and [[protein degradation]]. Wickner's research has elucidated the molecular mechanisms by which these proteins function, contributing to a deeper understanding of cellular biology.<br />
<br />
== Awards and Honors ==<br />
Sue Wickner has received numerous awards for her contributions to science, including the [[NIH Director's Award]] and the [[American Society for Biochemistry and Molecular Biology]] (ASBMB) [[William C. Rose Award]].<br />
<br />
== Personal Life ==<br />
Wickner is married and has two children. She is an advocate for [[women in science]] and has mentored many young scientists throughout her career.<br />
