Anne Dell CBE FRS (b. 11 Sept 1950)[1] is an Australian biochemist specialising in the study of glycomics and the carbohydrate structures that modify proteins.[2] She is currently Professor of Carbohydrate Biochemistry at Imperial College London.[3]
Dell was appointed Commander of the Order of the British Empire (CBE) in the 2009 Birthday Honours.[4]
Early life
Anne Dell was the youngest of seven children and grew up on a farm in the Australian outback, where she was educated at home by her mother using Correspondence School lessons until the age of eleven.[5][6][7]
Education and research
After gaining a First Class Honours degree in Organic Chemistry from the University of Western Australia, Dell was awarded an 1851 Exhibition Scholarship to study for a PhD at the University of Cambridge.[8][7] As she was awarded her PhD in 1975 her doctoral supervisor, Howard R. Morris, moved to Imperial College London as a lecturer in biochemistry and brought Dell with him.[9] She would remain at Imperial for the rest of her career.[7]
