Linda Hicke, Associate Vice President for Research
Dr. Hicke received a bachelor's degree from Humboldt State University in Arcata, Calif. where she majored in chemistry and graduated summa cum laude. She then received a PhD in biochemistry from the University of California at Berkeley. Immediately after, she completed two postdoctoral fellowships, the first at the University of California at San Francisco and the second at the University of Basel in Switzerland. With funding from the National Institutes of Health (NIH), Dr. Hicke's research interest is the role of ubiquitin in regulating protein traffic in eukaryotic cells, a subject that she has published about widely in journals such as Cell, Molecular Cell, The EMBO Journal, Nature Cell Biology and the Journal of Cell Biology. She has received multiple awards, including a Searle Scholars Award, a Burroughs Wellcome Fund New Investigator Award in the Basic Pharmacological Sciences, the Presidential Early Career Award for Scientists and Engineers, and the Women in Cell Biology Career Recognition Junior Award from the American Society for Cell Biology. Dr. Hicke was elected to the governing council of the American Society for Cell Biology from 2004 to 2006 where she was the program chair for the society's national meeting in 2005. As a council member, she was involved in setting policy for the society on scientific, educational and political issues. In addition, she has chaired three other national meetings or conferences and served on NIH study sections and as an ad hoc reviewer for numerous scientific journals. Linda Hicke Office for Research
