Transcription
Education
Orengo studied Chemical Physics at the University of Bristol where she was awarded a Bachelor of Science degree in 1976.[11] She continued her studies at the University of Aberdeen where she was awarded a Master of Science degree in Medical Physics in 1977 for research on the disruption of iron metabolism in laboratory rats with Yoshida sarcomas.[12] She was awarded a PhD for research on the redox properties of haem in proteins in 1984 from UCL.[13]
Career and research
Following her PhD, Orengo worked in industry as Chief Chemist for FCI International, Brussels and mathematical modeller for Humphreys & Glasgow in London.[11] In 1987 she was appointed a postdoctoral researcher at the National Institute for Medical Research (NIMR) in Mill Hill where she worked until 1990.[9] She joined the department of biochemistry and molecular biology at UCL and in 1995 and was awarded a Medical Research Council (MRC) senior fellowship in Bioinformatics. She was promoted to Professor of Bioinformatics in 2002.[9]
Orengo's research analyses genes, proteins and biological systems using computational methods to classify proteins into evolutionary families. Her research has been funded by the Medical Research Council and the Biotechnology and Biological Sciences Research Council (BBSRC).[14]
Orengo is co-editor with David Jones and Janet Thornton of the textbook Bioinformatics: Genes, Proteins and Computers.[15] As of 2021[update], according to Google Scholar[2] and Scopus[6] her most cited work has been published in Nature,[16] Nucleic Acids Research,[17][18] Structure[5] and the Journal of Molecular Biology.[19][20] Her former doctoral students include Camilla Pang,[3] Sonja Lehtinen[21][22] and Ian Sillitoe.[23]
Awards and honours
Orengo was elected a member of the European Molecular Biology Organization (EMBO) in 2014 and a Fellow of the Royal Society (FRS) in 2019.[1][24][25]
