Susan Lowey (born 22 January 1933 in Vienna) is an American biophysicist researching the structure and function of contractile proteins.
Lowey received her BA from Barnard College,[1] PhD in Physical Chemistry from Yale University and pursued post-doctoral research at Harvard University[2] on the biochemistry and structure of myosin, a protein involved in muscle contraction.
[citation needed] Lowey was employed for about a decade at the Children's Cancer Research Foundation and Harvard Medical School.
[2] In 1972, Lowey became a faculty member at The Rosenstiel Basic Medical Sciences Research Center, Brandeis University to collaborate with biophysicists.
[2][3] In 1998, Lowey was appointed as a faculty member in the Department of Molecular Physiology & Biophysics at the University of Vermont.
