Early life and education
Taylor was born in 1942 in
Cambridge, England, where she has said she settled on a career in research science.[5] After returning to the United States, she worked as a postdoc at the University of California, San Diego.[1][2]
Academic career
After a brief postdoc position at UCSD, Taylor joined the faculty there in the Department of Chemistry and Biochemistry in 1972 and became a
full professor in 1985.[1] She was a Howard Hughes Medical Institute Investigator from 1997 to 2014.[6]
Taylor served on the editorial board of the Journal of Biological Chemistry from 1985-1990 and served a term as the president of the American Society for Biochemistry and Molecular Biology in 1995.[2]
