Joan Blanchette Broderick is a professor of chemistry and biochemistry at Montana State University known for her work on bioinorganic chemistry, especially the chemistry of iron-sulfur interactions. She was elected a member of the National Academy of Sciences in 2022. [1]
Broderick has an undergraduate degree from Washington State University, and an M.S. and a PhD from Northwestern University. Following her Ph.D., she was a postdoc at Massachusetts Institute of Technology and then an assistant professor at Amherst College. She held a faculty position at Michigan State University before moving to Montana in 2005. [2]
She has been recognized as a Saltman Lecturer and Women in Science Distinguished Professor at Montana State University. [3] In 2019, Broderick received the Alfred Bader Award in Bioinorganic or Bioorganic Chemistry from the American Chemical Society. [4]
She has contributed to bioinorganic chemistry often with a focus on iron-sulfur proteins, including the radical SAM enzymes. [5] Her research also includes investigations into hydrogenase where she defines the assembly of the enzymes into functional units. [6] [7]
