Susan W. Herring received her B.S. in Zoology and her Ph.D. Anatomy at the University of Chicago, Illinois, where she studied the comparative cranial anatomy of pigs and their close relatives. Feeling the need to work with live animals, she moved to the College of Dentistry, University of Illinois at Chicago as an NIH postdoctoral fellow, where she developed techniques to record masticatory muscle activity and jaw movement from unrestrained animals. Herring remained at University of Illinois at Chicago until 1990, rising to Professor of Oral Anatomy and Anatomy. In 1990 she took up her current position as Professor of Orthodontics and Oral Biology, now Oral Health Sciences, at the University of Washington, Seattle. Herring’s work on the biology of the craniofacial musculoskeletal system has been continuously funded by NIH for over 35 years. She has served on the editorial boards of multiple journals and held office in several societies, is a fellow of AADR and AAAS. Herring is the recipient of the 1999 Craniofacial Biology Research Award from IADR.
