Professor Renae Monique Ryan
Early life and education
Ryan was born and grew up in Sydney's eastern suburbs where she attended
Scientific impact
In addition to her work in neurochemistry and pharmacology, she has worked in gender equity, diversity and inclusion. The scientific impact of her research, as measured using citations and H number included over 1,700 citations and an H number of 19 in July 2019, increasing to more than 2,900 and H-index of 29 by August 2023.[2] Ryan has had two articles published in Nature and Nature Structural and Molecular Biology in 2007.[3]
Work in equity
As a student, she did not think about gender very much, given that in biomedical science, there "seemed to be lots of women around".[4] As she rose through the academic ranks, she noticed that "despite high numbers of women at undergraduate and PhD levels, there were very few women in senior academic positions". Ryan's work on gender equity has been published by Women's Agenda.[4]
Ryan works as a mentor.[5] She believes that to increase diversity in academia, we should not change the person, but "we need disruptive systemic change".[4]
