About
Alison Rodger is a leading biophysical chemist whose research focuses on the structure, stability, and interactions of biomolecules, particularly proteins and DNA. She is best known for pioneering high-throughput circular dichroism (CD) spectroscopy, a technique critical for characterizing protein secondary structure and folding. Her 2019 paper on automated capillary CD and intrinsic fluorescence spectroscopy, which has garnered 23 citations, exemplifies her major contribution: developing rapid, robotic methods to assess the physical stability of biotherapeutics—a key challenge in drug formulation and manufacturing. This work has significantly advanced the field by enabling faster, more reliable structural analysis of proteins in solution. Beyond this, Rodger has made foundational contributions to understanding DNA-ligand interactions using spectroscopic and computational approaches. Her impact is reflected in her extensive publication record and her role as a professor at the University of Sydney, where she has mentored numerous students and researchers. Notably, she has also co-authored influential textbooks on biophysical chemistry and CD spectroscopy, making her a respected authority in structural biology and biophysics.
