Why Is Jórunn Erla Eyfjörð Influential?
(Suggest an Edit or Addition)According to Wikipedia, Jórunn Erla Eyfjörð is an Icelandic molecular biologist and professor emerita at the Faculty of Medicine of the University of Iceland. She is known for her research on breast cancer genetics. Career Jórunn Erla matriculated from the mathematics division of Reykjavik Junior College in 1966. She did her undergraduate studies at the University of Iceland and University of Minnesota. She graduated with a BSc in biology from the University of Iceland in 1971. Along with her undergraduate studies she worked as an assistant to professor Gudmundur Eggertsson at his newly founded molecular genetics laboratory, at Keldur, Institute for Experimental Pathology. Jórunn continued her studies in molecular genetics at the MRC Cell Mutation Unit, University of Sussex, England, and completed her doctorate in 1976 on the topic of DNA repair, studying the processes by which a cell recovers from damage due to radiation.
