Judith Storch, Ph.D.

The Storch lab studies how lipids are transported and targeted in cells, focusing on lipid-binding proteins at the structural and functional levels using biochemical, biophysical, molecular, cell biological, genetic, and physiological approaches. Judy obtained an M.S. in Human Nutrition and a Ph.D. in Physiology and Biophysics from Columbia University, where she studied the role of lipids in regulating membrane fluidity. She did postdoctoral research at the Harvard Medical School, where her interests in intracellular lipid transport began. She was an Associate Professor in the Nutrition Department at the Harvard School of Public Health before joining the faculty of Rutgers University in 1992, where she is currently Distinguished Professor in the Nutritional Sciences Department. She has served as Associate Editor for the Journal of Nutrition and as the Executive Editor of Biochimica et Biophysica Acta-Molecular and Cell Biology of Lipids. She is the recipient of the American Society for Nutrition Osborn and Mendel Award and the American Society for Biochemistry and Molecular Biology Avanti Award in Lipids.
