Dr. Tracy Anthony
Assistant Professor of Biochemistry and Molecular Biology
Indiana University School of Medicine
Evansville, IN 47712
Tracy is above all a dedicated Hokie, attending VT for undergrad and having 2 brothers that also graduated from Tech. Her undergrad degree was in Human Nutrition and Foods with a Science of Food emphasis, and Tracy has many fond memories of Wallace Hall. Tracy received the MS degree in 1995 and the PhD in 1998 from the University of Illinois, Division of Nutritional Sciences. She then conducted postdoctoral training in the Department of Cellular and Molecular Physiology at the Penn State College of Medicine between 1998-2001. In 2001 she arrived at the Indiana University School of Medicine, Evansville campus, where she works today as an Assistant Professor of Biochemistry and Molecular Biology. Her laboratory uses animal models to explore the regulation of protein synthesis by amino acids and how altered amino acid supply is sensed and managed at the molecular level. In 2003, Tracy was the inaugural recipient of the American Society for Nutrition (ASN) Peter J. Reeds Young Investigator Award, recognizing the work she conducted on the amino acid leucine and how dietary protein promotes growth. Several of her papers published in The Journal of Nutrition remain in the Top 50 Most Cited, with one of them still at number 3. Tracy is a member of several societies, including the ASN, APS, and ASBMB, and she has served ASN in multiple roles: as a member of the Journal of Nutrition Editorial Board; as chair of Research Interest Sections within the Society; as an organizer of symposia sessions at Experimental Biology; and as a member of the Nominating Committee. She is currently the Chair-Elect of the Nutrient-Gene RIS. Tracy has received grant funding from several external agencies and companies, including NIH, American Institute for Cancer Research, Solae, and Mead Johnson. Aside from her research program, Tracy teaches Medical Biochemistry to first year medical students and mentors undergrad and medical students in the lab.
