Biography

Stacey D. Wetmore is Professor of Chemistry and Tier I Board of Governors Research Chair in the Department of Chemistry and Biochemistry at the University of Lethbridge, Alberta, Canada. She obtained a B.Sc. (Honours) in Chemistry and Mathematics from Mount Allison University (Sackville, Canada) in 1995, and her Ph.D. in Computational Chemistry from Dalhousie University (Halifax, Canada) under the supervision of Prof. Russell Boyd in 1999. After completing a postdoctoral fellowship with Prof. Leo Radom at the Australian National University (Canberra, 1999–2001), she launched an independent research program at Mount Allison in 2001 and was recruited to the University of Lethbridge in 2006 as a Tier II Canada Research Chair, which was renewed in 2012.

Her research program currently uses computer modeling to study the chemistry of nucleic acids, including the structure and properties of modified nucleic acids and the function of enzymes that process nucleic acids such as those involved in DNA damage, repair and replication pathways. She has a superb research track record as recognized by the award of the most prestigious Chemical Institute of Canada Fellowship, the highest accolade that can be bestowed on a member of the Chemical Institute of Canada.
