Memberships: Fellow of Australian Academy of Science, 1987 Awards/Medals: Marie Cabbot Fellowship at Harvard University 1973 Ann Horton Research Fellowship at Cambridge University 1974 Lemberg Medal by the Australian Biochemical Society 1983 R. N. Robertson Award of the Australian Society of Plant Scientists 1998 Centenary Medal 2001 Parents: William Arthur and Mary Lee Anderson. Made outstanding experimental and conceptual advances in the understanding of the molecular organization of the photosynthetic membranes of higher plants and algae. Her demonstration of lateral heterogeneity in the distribution of plant thylakoid complexes and her elucidation of of its consequences are of fundamental significance. Other major contributions include the first physical separation of the two photosystems, the discovery and characterization of novel pigment-protein complexes, as well as environmental studies on the regulation of photosynthesis by light. Her innovative concepts and research have led to important conclusions oon the molecular mechanisms of light-harvesting, electron transport capacity and the light regulation of photosynthetic acclimation.
