Susan Lee Lindquist, ForMemRS (June 5, 1949 – October 27, 2016) was an American professor of biology at MIT[4][5] specializing in molecular biology, particularly the protein folding problem[3][6] within a family of molecules known as heat-shock proteins,[7][8] and prions.[9] Lindquist was a member and former director of the Whitehead Institute and was awarded the National Medal of Science in 2010.[10][11][12]
