For more than three decades, she was a key part of the biochemistry department at University College London, where she was professor of microbial biochemistry from 1973 until her retirement in 1984 – when she was made emeritus professor.Very aware that more women had to become involved in science, she was one of six female members of the committee on women in science, engineering and technology commissioned by the Conservative science minister William Waldegrave in 1993. The committee's report, The Rising Tide (1994), urged that a development unit be set up to encourage women to move into scientific careers, that childcare costs should be offset against tax and that teachers be trained to promote equal opportunities in the classroom.For women, "children are not an impossible barrier to successful careers in science," Clarke wrote to the Guardian soon after the report was published, "but it does help to have flexibility in conditions of employment and good childcare and nursery provision ... High standard nursery education benefits the whole national economy by avoiding the loss of all qualified people."At UCL Clarke combined lecturing, administration, membership of many committees and research on the genetics and biochemistry of bacteria, and especially Pseudomonas aeruginosa. This work had implications for the industrial production of antibiotic and organic compounds. She published many papers and co-edited, with Mark H Richmond, Genetics and Biochemistry of Pseudo- monas (1975). She contributed the chapter on intermediary metabolism to Essays in Microbiology (1978 ) and that on the regulation of expression of microbial genes to Further Milestones in Biology (1997). Clarke did pioneering work with her research students and colleagues on the properties and evolution of bacterial enzymes. She and her co-workers were the first to show that a mutation on one site on a bacterial gene could result in an enzyme with a new activity.Born Patricia Green in Pontypridd, south Wales, she was educated at her local primary school and was awarded a scholarship to Howell's school, Llandaff. In 1937 a Sparke scholarship took her to Girton College, Cambridge, where she studied natural sciences and, in 1939, her final year, and particularly influenced by the microbiologist Marjory Stephenson, she specialised in biochemistry.Rather than stay on at Cambridge to do postgraduate research, from 1940 to 1944 Patricia worked for the Armament Research Department, first at Woolwich, and at later at Swansea. She married Michael Clarke in 1940. From 1944 to 1947 she worked at the Wellcome research laboratories in Beckenham, Kent. Her most important research there was on toxins produced by the bacterium Clostridium oedomatiens, which causes gas gangrene in humans. They used strains of the bacteria that had been collected from casualties in the Western Desert.After four years at home to bring up her two sons, from 1951 until 1953 Clarke worked part-time at the National Collection of Type Cultures at the Public Health Laboratory Service in Colindale, north London. Her research group developed a method of identifying bacteria related to their reactions with enzymes – methods later widely used in industry. Her reputation and commitment to research led to her appointment in 1953 to a lectureship in the UCL biochemistry department. In 1976 she was elected a fellow of the Royal Society on the strength of her research in microbiology. She was on its council, and vice-president from 1981 to 1982.She continued with her research after her retirement and from 1984 until 1986 she held a Leverhulme Emeritus Fellowship. Among many later posts were a professorial fellowship at the University of Wales, and the Tong Po professorship at the University of Hong Kong (1986). She held positions of responsibility in groups such as the Society for General Microbiology, the Biochemical Society, the Science Research Council, and the Freshwater Biological Association.Clarke always ensured that she pitched her lectures at the right level for her many audiences, whether at the 1977 young scientists' lecture at the Royal Society; the RS's Leeuwenhoek lecture in 1979 or the JD Bernal lecture in 1988 at Birkbeck College, London, entitled New Directions in Biology: Basic Science and Biotechnology.A Bath University and Cheltenham Ladies College council member, Clarke was a governor of Wye College and Deer Park school, Cirencester. A keen gardener and a member of the Royal Horticultural Society, she was also a member of the Cotswold Canal Trust, the Cirencester Science and Technology Society, and the Cirencester Civic Society.Her husband Michael predeceased her. She is survived by their sons, Francis and David, and by a grandson, Oliver.• Patricia Hannah Clarke, biochemist, born 29 July 1919; died 28 January 2010Biochemistry and molecular biologyMicrobiologyguardian.co.uk © Guardian News & Media Limited 2010 | Use of this content is subject to our Terms & Conditions | More Feeds science news Karin Min, Robin Lee Karin Kai-Ling Min and Robin Seung-Jin Lee were married Saturday at State Room, an event space in Boston.

He said that there could be a decline in food exports because of the massive volume of humanitarian aid that Haiti is receiving. "Trade in eggs, chicken and other products will be affected, but once reconstruction begins many products manufactured in the DR such as cement, rebar and other construction materials will be purchased here because of cost-savings", he said. Camilo stated that the DR has the potential to supply the construction materials that Haiti needs. He also predicted that the US economic recovery would benefit the DR and said that he expected more economic activity in 2010. He was speaking on the occasion of the celebration of the World Customs Day. Meanwhile, Listin Diario reports that the cost of construction materials is already on the rise in local markets. The newspaper says that the price of a bag of Portland cement increased from RD$240 to RD$260, a quintal of rebar is up 36%, from RD$1,100 to RD$1,500, in the past 2 weeks. Speaking for the hardware store importers association (Adoimfe), Martin Piniella Junco said he did not believe the increases were the result of speculation. He said that commodity prices and shipping tariffs are up. He said that a freight container that cost US$1,500 is now costing US$3,000. caribbeans news Costly Haiti - Jamaica struggles with big relief bill THE JAMAICAN Government could be forced to recall health and Jamaica Defence Force personnel from Haiti this week as the country struggles with a $700,000-per-day operational bill.Jamaica is leading the CARICOM response in the wake of the catastrophic earthquake ... caribbeans news |
