Enid MacRobbie
Enid Anne Campbell MacRobbie, FRS (born 1931, Edinburgh, Scotland[1]) is a Scottish plant scientist, and Senior Research Fellow at the University of Cambridge.[2] Her specialty is biophysics, with particular interests in ion fluxes and stomata.[1]
She was appointed "to a Personal Professorship in 1987, the first woman scientist in Cambridge to be awarded a Personal Chair."[1] She was elected a Fellow of the Royal Society of London in 1991 and of the Royal Society of Edinburgh in 1998.[1] She is also a Foreign Member of the National Academy of Sciences and a Corresponding Member of the American Society of Plant Biologists.[1] Roger Spanswick was a member of her laboratory.
