Judith Patricia Armitage FRS (born 1951) is a British professor of molecular and cellular biochemistry at the University of Oxford.
Education
She went to Selby Girls' High School, an all-female grammar school, then in the West Riding of Yorkshire. In her sixth form the school became the co-educational Selby Grammar School.
Armitage was educated at University College London, and was awarded a PhD in 1976 for research on the bacterium Proteus mirabilis.[1]
Research
Armitage's research is largely based on the motion of bacteria by flagellar rotation and the chemotactic mechanisms used to control that motion.[2] Armitage has been based in Oxford since 1985 and was appointed professor in 1996. Armitage is a fellow of Merton College, Oxford[3] and the director of the Oxford University Centre for Integrative Systems Biology.[4][5][6][7]
