Education and career
editBroderick 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]
Research
editShe 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]
