| Academic career |
Anthony William Linnane FAA FRS FTSE (1930-2017) was an Australian professor of biochemistry, known for his work on mitochondria.[1]
Career
Linnane's work investigated the biogenesis of mitochondria in yeast, the biosynthesis of mitochondrial enzymes, and the selective effects of antibiotics on protein synthesis in the mitochondria and cytoplasm.[2]
Linnane became professor of biochemistry at Monash in 1965, and Head of Biochemistry in 1991. He was the founding director of the Centre for Molecular Biology and Medicine from 1983 until 1996, when he became emeritus professor.[2]
Professor Linnane received the Lemberg Medal from the Australian Biochemical Society in 1973. He was elected to the Australian Academy of Science in 1972, to the Royal Society in 1980, and to the Australian Academy of Technological Sciences and Engineering in 1999. He served as President of both the Australian Biochemical Society and the Federation of Asian and Oceanic Biochemical Societies, and as Treasurer of the International Union of Biochemistry and Molecular Biology.[3]
