She gained her early teaching experience at the University of York, the University of Warwick, and MIT. In 1978, she joined the faculty of SUNY Stony Brook, where she was awarded the title of Distinguished Professor in 1998. She holds a bachelor’s degree from the University of Edinburgh and a doctorate from the University of Cambridge. Together with Dietmar Salamon, Professor McDuff has written several foundational books on symplectic topology as well as many research articles. She is best known for her work in the geometry of multidimensional structures, which has been credited with opening a new branch of mathematics and providing new understandings in a range of mathematical topics. Professor McDuff serves on the board of trustees of the Mathematical Sciences Research Institute. She is a fellow of the Royal Society, a member of the National Academy of Sciences, a member of the American Philosophical Society, and an honorary fellow of Girton College, Cambridge. In addition, she has received the Satter Prize from the American Mathematical Society and the Outstanding Woman Scientist Award from the Association for Women in Science (AWIS), and she holds honorary doctorates from the University of Edinburgh, the University of York, and the University of Strasbourg.
HONOREE ELIZABETH M. MCNALLY ’83, MD, PhD National Academy of Medicine Elizabeth McNally is the Elizabeth J. Ward Professor of Genetic Medicine at Northwestern University’s Feinberg School of Medicine, where she directs the Center for Genetic Medicine. She holds a Doctor of Medicine degree and a doctorate from the Albert Einstein College of Medicine in New York and was a postdoctoral fellow at Children’s Hospital, Boston. Dr. McNally is a cardiologist with expertise in cardiovascular genetics and a special interest in neuromuscular diseases. As a clinician, she developed one of the first cardiovascular genetics clinics in the nation, integrating genetic testing into cardiovascular care for patients and families. Dr. McNally’s research focuses on understanding genetic mechanisms underlying heritable cardiac disorders, including those that cause muscular dystrophies. By understanding how these genetic mutations exert their effects, she is driving the development of new therapies, including genetic editing strategies. Dr. McNally serves on the board of directors of the Muscular Dystrophy Association and is the current chair of the Council on Basic Cardiovascular Sciences of the American Heart Association. She is also currently the president of the Association of American Physicians. She is on the scientific advisory committee for Parent Project Muscular Dystrophy, and is a past president of the American Society for Clinical Investigation. Dr. McNally’s accomplishments have been recognized with an award from the Burroughs Wellcome Foundation and a Distinguished Clinical Scientist Award from the Doris Duke Charitable Foundation. She has also been named an Established Investigator of the American Heart Association, and she is an elected member of the American Academy of Arts and Sciences and the National Academy of Medicine.
