Maggie Cusack is Professor of Biomineralisation at the School of Geographical and Earth Sciences at the University of Glasgow.^[1] Her central research focuses on biominerals (shells, corals and bones.)

Career

Cusack initially studied cell biology and did her doctoral thesis on protein biochemistry, however she is better known as a pioneer of geoscience in applying her discoveries about living organisms to advance out understanding of fossils which allows a more accurate and reliable record of climate change.^[2]

Specifically, her research interests include determining the influence of ocean acidification on marine microbial photosynthesises, biometrics and biominerals in the realm of materials, bone therapies and stem cells.^[1] Some of the analytical approaches she employs include scanning electron microscopy; electron backscatter diffraction, synchrotron analyses and stable isotope measurements.^[1] Cusack’s work has implications not only in that field but in the modern era too, in developing new synthetic materials for use in medicine, engineering and construction.^[2]

She is a Fellow of the Royal Society of Edinburgh.^[3]
