Senior Scientist, Ontario Cancer Institute and Professor in the Banting and Best Department of Medical Research and Department of Medical Biophysics,University of Toronto. 

Cheryl Arrowsmith is  also the Chief Scientist of the Toronto Site of the Structural Genomics Consortium (SGC), a British-Canadian project that aim's to determine hundreds of medically relevant protein structures and deposit the coordinates into the public domain. Cheryl received her B.Sc. degree in chemistry from Allegheny College and Ph.D. in chemistry from the University of Toronto. She carried out postdoctoral research at Stanford University where she applied NMR spectroscopic methods toward understanding protein structure and function. Dr. Arrowsmith's research focuses on the use of structural biology methods, particularly NMR and biochemical methods for understanding the structure-function relationships of proteins and their role in cancer.  She is developing and applying these methods on a genome-wide scale (called structural and functional proteomics).  Dr. Arrowsmith is the holder of a Canada Research Chair in Structural Proteomics at the University of Toronto.
