She earned her PhD at Harvard University, where her thesis and postgraduate work focused on the biogenesis and ultrastructure of the Chlamydomonas chloroplast. In 1971, she initiated a career-spanning analysis of the Chlamydomonas sexual cycle and cell wall using a combination of genetics, ultrastructure, and molecular biology. She also used these approaches to study Chlamydomonas cilia and lipid-body formation. Key collaborators included Steven Adair, Patrick Ferris, Sabine Waffenschmidt, James Umen, and Jae-Hyeok Lee. Since retiring in 2017, she has completed a wide-ranging ultrastructural study of lichens.vizualizați mai puține
