TitleSchuman, Erin Margaret: certificate of election to the Royal Society
Date21 April 2024
DescriptionCertificate endorsing election of Erin Schuman as a Foreign Member of the Royal Society. Includes personal details of the elected Foreign Member, citation giving the reasons for election, and names of proposers. Signed by the Executive Director of the Royal Society, Julie Maxton.
CitationErin Schuman is distinguished for her seminal discoveries on the cellular and molecular basis of memory formation. Her pioneering work revealed that long-term synaptic plasticity requires local protein synthesis. She discovered that thousands of different mRNAs reside in dendrites where their translation is important for synaptic function, overturning the idea that local translation is the exception rather than the rule. The ingenious technologies she has advanced for detecting and localising nascent proteins have helped to revolutionise our view of the cell biology of the neuron. Her significant research contributions have been recognized on an international scale by prestigious prizes.
