Autorenporträt

Susan Weiss Liebman, PhD, was among MIT's first undergraduate female students. Upon completion of graduate and post-doctoral work she became a biology professor at the University of Illinois at Chicago. There she taught undergraduate and graduate genetics for thirty-four years while leading a well-funded research group in molecular genetics and raising two children with her husband. When her niece died suddenly at age thirty-six, Liebman became a medical detective. As a result, she is now a strong advocate for genetic testing.
