Bio/Research
Gertrud (Trudi) Schüpbach is a member of the National Academy of Sciences and the American Academy of Arts and Sciences. She is a Howard Hughes Medical Institute Investigator and the Henry Fairfield Osborn Professor of Biology, Professor of Molecular Biology at Princeton University. She is also an adjunct faculty member of the Department of Biochemistry and Molecular Biology at the Robert Wood Johnson Medical School at Rutgers University. Schupbach received a Masters degree and a Ph.D. in Biology from the University of Zurich, Switzerland. She performed postdoctoral work first at the University of Zurich and later at Princeton University. She was appointed as a Research Biologist in the Department of Biology at Princeton University in 1985, and as Associate Professor in 1990 and was promoted to Full Professor in 1994. The research in her laboratory focuses on on cell to cell signaling processes that are involved in pattern formation during development, using Drosophila as a model system. In recent years the work has branched into questions of RNA localization and translational control, as well as understanding the general biology of epithelial cells. At Princeton, Professor Schupbach teaches both undergraduate and graduate courses and has guided many juniors and seniors in their thesis research.
