Enid Anne Campbell MacRobbie (5 December 1931 – 22 September 2024) was a Scottish plant scientist who was Emeritus Professor of Plant Biophysics at the University of Cambridge[1] and a Life Fellow of Girton College.[2] Her specialty was biophysics, with particular interests in ion fluxes and stomata.[3]
Born on 5 December 1931, in Edinburgh,[3] MacRobbie was appointed "to a Personal Professorship in 1987, the first woman scientist in Cambridge to be awarded a Personal Chair."[3] She was elected a Fellow of the Royal Society of London in 1991 and of the Royal Society of Edinburgh in 1998.[3] She was also a Foreign Member of the National Academy of Sciences and a Corresponding Member of the American Society of Plant Biologists.[3] Roger Spanswick was a member of her laboratory.
MacRobbie died on 22 September 2024, at the age of 92.[4]
