Frances Arnold

<h2 id="early-life-and-education">Early life and education</h2>
Arnold is the daughter of Josephine Inman (née Routheau) and nuclear physicist <a href="/facts/William_Howard_Arnold_(physicist)/Tbkr9DcH">William Howard Arnold</a>, and the granddaughter of Lieutenant General <a href="/facts/William_Howard_Arnold_(general)/KICzGNSW">William Howard Arnold</a>.<a class="footnote-ref" id="fnref:5" href="#fn:5">5</a> She has an older brother, Bill, and three younger brothers, Edward, David and Thomas. She grew up in the <a href="/facts/Pittsburgh/42yPHyS0">Pittsburgh</a> suburb of <a href="/facts/Edgewood%2c_Allegheny_County%2c_Pennsylvania/zLW1VLw8">Edgewood</a>, and the Pittsburgh neighborhoods of <a href="/facts/Shadyside_(Pittsburgh)/PK2wSmCY">Shadyside</a> and <a href="/facts/Squirrel_Hill_(Pittsburgh)/puWKvVY9">Squirrel Hill</a>, graduating from the city's <a href="/facts/Taylor_Allderdice_High_School/yuRcmwld">Taylor Allderdice High School</a> in 1974.<a class="footnote-ref" id="fnref:6" href="#fn:6">6</a> As a high schooler, she hitchhiked to Washington, D.C., to protest the <a href="/facts/Vietnam_War/W0gfbGTE">Vietnam War</a><a class="footnote-ref" id="fnref:7" href="#fn:7">7</a> and lived on her own, working as a cocktail waitress at a local jazz club and a cab driver.<a class="footnote-ref" id="fnref:8" href="#fn:8">8</a>
The same independence that drove Arnold to move out of her childhood home as a teenager also led to a large volume of absences from school and low grades. In spite of this, she made near perfect scores on standardized tests and was determined to attend Princeton University, the alma mater of her father. She applied as a mechanical engineering major and was accepted.<a class="footnote-ref" id="fnref:9" href="#fn:9">9</a> Arnold's motivation behind studying engineering, as stated in her Nobel Prize interview, was that "[mechanical engineering] was the easiest option and the easiest way to get into Princeton University at the time and I never left".<a class="footnote-ref" id="fnref:10" href="#fn:10">10</a>
Arnold graduated in 1979 with a Bachelor of Science (BS) degree in <a href="/facts/Mechanical_engineering/cbId4fye">mechanical</a> and <a href="/facts/Aerospace_engineering/2Ib02w7f">aerospace engineering</a> from <a href="/facts/Princeton_University/n3EPGHBM">Princeton University</a>, where she focused on solar energy research.<a class="footnote-ref" id="fnref:11" href="#fn:11">11</a> In addition to the courses required for her major, she took classes in economics, Russian, and Italian, and envisioned herself as becoming a diplomat or CEO, even considering getting an advanced degree in international affairs.<a class="footnote-ref" id="fnref:12" href="#fn:12">12</a> She took a year off from Princeton after her second year to travel to Italy and work in a factory that made <a href="/facts/Nuclear_reactor/8xqjIbge">nuclear reactor</a> parts, then returned to complete her studies.<a class="footnote-ref" id="fnref:13" href="#fn:13">13</a> Back at Princeton, she began studying at its Center for Energy and Environmental Studies – a group of scientists and engineers, at the time led by <a href="/facts/Robert_H._Socolow/SxJreQva">Robert Socolow</a>, working to develop sustainable energy sources, a topic that would become a focus of her later work.<a class="footnote-ref" id="fnref:14" href="#fn:14">14</a>
After graduating from Princeton in 1979, Arnold worked as an engineer in South Korea and Brazil and at Colorado's <a href="/facts/National_Renewable_Energy_Laboratory/UMhnJKEC">Solar Energy Research Institute</a>.<a class="footnote-ref" id="fnref:15" href="#fn:15">15</a> At the Solar Energy Research Institute (now the National Renewable Energy Laboratory), she worked on designing solar energy facilities for remote locations and helped write United Nations (UN) <a href="/facts/Position_paper/TqVvpLQt">position papers</a>.<a class="footnote-ref" id="fnref:16" href="#fn:16">16</a>
She then enrolled at the <a href="/facts/University_of_California%2c_Berkeley/MXVEjklr">University of California, Berkeley</a>, where she earned a PhD degree in <a href="/facts/Chemical_engineering/Fb64amQf">chemical engineering</a> in 1985<a class="footnote-ref" id="fnref:17" href="#fn:17">17</a> and became deeply interested in biochemistry.<a class="footnote-ref" id="fnref:18" href="#fn:18">18</a><a class="footnote-ref" id="fnref:19" href="#fn:19">19</a> Her thesis work, carried out in the lab of Harvey Warren Blanch, investigated <a href="/facts/Affinity_chromatography/wCJjrPpt">affinity chromatography</a> techniques.<a class="footnote-ref" id="fnref:20" href="#fn:20">20</a><a class="footnote-ref" id="fnref:21" href="#fn:21">21</a> Arnold had no chemistry background before pursuing a doctorate in chemical engineering. For the first year of her Ph.D. coursework, the graduate committee at UC Berkeley required that she take undergraduate chemistry courses.<a class="footnote-ref" id="fnref:22" href="#fn:22">22</a>

<h2 id="career">Career</h2>
After earning her Ph.D., Arnold completed postdoctoral research in <a href="/facts/Biophysical_chemistry/P7Rblzka">biophysical chemistry</a> at Berkeley.<a class="footnote-ref" id="fnref:23" href="#fn:23">23</a> In 1986, she joined the <a href="/facts/California_Institute_of_Technology/3FPcp7BL">California Institute of Technology</a> as a visiting associate. She was promoted to assistant professor in 1986, associate professor in 1992, and full professor in 1996. She was named the Dick and Barbara Dickinson Professor of Chemical Engineering, Bioengineering and Biochemistry in 2000 and, her current position, the Linus Pauling Professor of Chemical Engineering, Bioengineering and Biochemistry in 2017.<a class="footnote-ref" id="fnref:24" href="#fn:24">24</a> In 2013, she was appointed director of Caltech's Donna and Benjamin M. Rosen Bioengineering Center.<a class="footnote-ref" id="fnref:25" href="#fn:25">25</a>
Arnold served on the Science Board for the <a href="/facts/Santa_Fe_Institute/FWfRIJ5N">Santa Fe Institute</a> from 1995 to 2000.<a class="footnote-ref" id="fnref:26" href="#fn:26">26</a> She was a member of the Advisory Board of the <a href="/facts/Joint_BioEnergy_Institute/Lm0DFtBY">Joint BioEnergy Institute</a>. Arnold chairs the Advisory Panel of the Packard Fellowships in Science and Engineering. She served on the President's Advisory Council of the King Abdullah University of Science and Technology (<a href="/facts/KAUST/HKLxQtgl">KAUST</a>). She served as a judge for <a href="/facts/The_Queen_Elizabeth_Prize_for_Engineering/Hmexuntm">The Queen Elizabeth Prize for Engineering</a> and worked with the <a href="/facts/National_Academy_of_Sciences/M3oePVeG">National Academy of Science's</a> <a href="/facts/Science_%2526_Entertainment_Exchange/JJvLdhqv">Science & Entertainment Exchange</a> to help Hollywood screenwriters accurately portray science topics.<a class="footnote-ref" id="fnref:27" href="#fn:27">27</a>
In 2000 Arnold was elected a member of the <a href="/facts/National_Academy_of_Engineering/6RCqfvXM">National Academy of Engineering</a> for integration of fundamentals in molecular biology, genetics, and bioengineering to the benefit of life science and industry.
She is co-inventor on over 40 US patents.<a class="footnote-ref" id="fnref:28" href="#fn:28">28</a> She co-founded <a href="/facts/Gevo%2c_Inc/BogzSCz3">Gevo, Inc</a>., a company to make fuels and chemicals from renewable resources in 2005.<a class="footnote-ref" id="fnref:29" href="#fn:29">29</a> In 2013, she and two of her former students, Peter Meinhold and Pedro Coelho, cofounded a company called Provivi to research alternatives to <a href="/facts/Pesticide/Uhf4KnwJ">pesticides</a> for crop protection.<a class="footnote-ref" id="fnref:30" href="#fn:30">30</a><a class="footnote-ref" id="fnref:31" href="#fn:31">31</a><a class="footnote-ref" id="fnref:32" href="#fn:32">32</a> She has been on the corporate board of the <a href="/facts/Genomics/pVU3BGpL">genomics</a> company <a href="/facts/Illumina_(company)/0nofTkVp">Illumina Inc.</a> since 2016.<a class="footnote-ref" id="fnref:33" href="#fn:33">33</a><a class="footnote-ref" id="fnref:34" href="#fn:34">34</a>
In 2019 she was named to the board of <a href="/facts/Alphabet_Inc./K3QvP6ns">Alphabet Inc.</a>, making Arnold the third woman director of the Google parent company.<a class="footnote-ref" id="fnref:35" href="#fn:35">35</a>
In January 2021 she was named an external co-chair of President Joe Biden's <a href="/facts/President%2527s_Council_of_Advisors_on_Science_and_Technology/UcgB369z">Council of Advisors on Science and Technology</a> (PCAST). She is working with Biden's transition team to help identify scientists for roles in the administration. She says her main job now is to help choose PCAST's additional members and to get to work setting a scientific agenda for the group. She has stated: "We have to reestablish the importance of science in policymaking, in decision making across the government. We need to reestablish the trust of the American people in science ... I think that PCAST can play a beneficial role in that."<a class="footnote-ref" id="fnref:36" href="#fn:36">36</a> 

<h3>Research</h3>
Arnold is credited with pioneering the use of <a href="/facts/Directed_evolution/DYJs0Hm2">directed evolution</a> to create <a href="/facts/Enzyme/DSI1Fh7y">enzymes</a> (biochemical molecules—often proteins—that <a href="/facts/Catalysis/LPBS7TQC">catalyze</a>, or speed up, chemical reactions) with improved and/or novel functions.<a class="footnote-ref" id="fnref:37" href="#fn:37">37</a> The <a href="/facts/Directed_evolution/DYJs0Hm2">directed evolution</a> strategy involves iterative rounds of mutagenesis and screening for proteins with improved functions and it has been used to create useful <a href="/facts/Biological_system/yKqVbaxu">biological systems</a>, including <a href="/facts/Enzyme/DSI1Fh7y">enzymes</a>, <a href="/facts/Metabolic_pathway/8Py8HKJd">metabolic pathways</a>, <a href="/facts/Genetic_regulatory_circuit/8e0CYrHz">genetic regulatory circuits</a>, and organisms. In nature, evolution by <a href="/facts/Natural_selection/JXTte6en">natural selection</a> can lead to proteins (including enzymes) well-suited to carry out biological tasks, but natural selection can only act on existing sequence variations (mutations) and typically occurs over long time periods.<a class="footnote-ref" id="fnref:38" href="#fn:38">38</a> Arnold speeds up the process by introducing mutations in the underlying sequences of proteins; she then tests these mutations' effects. If a mutation improves the proteins' function she can keep iterating the process to optimize it further. This strategy has broad implications because it can be used to discover proteins for a wide variety of applications.<a class="footnote-ref" id="fnref:39" href="#fn:39">39</a> For example, she has used directed evolution to discover enzymes that can be used to produce <a href="/facts/Renewable_fuels/flb46VjG">renewable fuels</a> and pharmaceutical compounds with less harm to the environment.<a class="footnote-ref" id="fnref:40" href="#fn:40">40</a>
One advantage of directed evolution is that the mutations do not have to be completely random; instead, they can be random enough to discover unexplored potential, but not so random as to be inefficient. The number of possible mutation combinations is astronomical, but instead of just randomly trying to test as many as possible, she integrates her knowledge of biochemistry to narrow down the options, focusing on introducing mutations in areas of the protein that are likely to have the most positive effect on activity and avoiding areas in which mutations would likely be, at best, neutral and at worst, detrimental (such as disrupting proper protein folding).<a class="footnote-ref" id="fnref:41" href="#fn:41">41</a> 
Arnold applied directed evolution to the optimization of enzymes (although not the first person to do so, see e.g. Barry Hall<a class="footnote-ref" id="fnref:42" href="#fn:42">42</a>). In<a class="footnote-ref" id="fnref:43" href="#fn:43">43</a> her seminal work, published in 1993, she used the method to engineer a version of <a href="/facts/Subtilisin/2UdWVyQm">subtilisin</a> E that was active in the organic solvent <a href="/facts/Dimethylformamide/wjI8UfB4">DMF</a>, a highly unnatural environment.<a class="footnote-ref" id="fnref:44" href="#fn:44">44</a> She carried out the work using four sequential rounds of mutagenesis of the enzyme's <a href="/facts/Gene/e1swwPY6">gene</a>, expressed by bacteria, through error-prone <a href="/facts/Polymerase_chain_reaction/G0jWzJy1">PCR</a>. After each round she screened the enzymes for their ability to <a href="/facts/Hydrolysis/JTvwIHPs">hydrolyze</a> the milk protein <a href="/facts/Casein/Udl5k8sx">casein</a> in the presence of DMF by growing the bacteria on agar plates containing casein and DMF. The bacteria secreted the enzyme and, if it were functional, it would hydrolyze the casein and produce a visible halo. She selected the bacteria that had the biggest halos and isolated their DNA for further rounds of mutagenesis.<a class="footnote-ref" id="fnref:45" href="#fn:45">45</a> Using this method, she discovered an enzyme that had 256 times more activity in DMF than the original.<a class="footnote-ref" id="fnref:46" href="#fn:46">46</a>
She has further developed her methods and applied them under different selection criteria in order to optimize enzymes for different functions. She showed that, whereas naturally evolved enzymes tend to function well at a narrow temperature range, enzymes could be produced using directed evolution that could function at both high and low temperatures.<a class="footnote-ref" id="fnref:47" href="#fn:47">47</a> In addition to improving the existing functions of natural enzymes, Arnold has discovered enzymes that perform functions for which no previous specific enzyme existed, such as when she evolved <a href="/facts/Cytochrome_P450/alxusFD0">cytochrome P450</a> to carry out <a href="/facts/Cyclopropanation/8EmwKzrK">cyclopropanation</a><a class="footnote-ref" id="fnref:48" href="#fn:48">48</a> and <a href="/facts/Carbene/3WxNSStY">carbene</a> and <a href="/facts/Nitrene/2J1DGmJD">nitrene</a> transfer reactions.<a class="footnote-ref" id="fnref:49" href="#fn:49">49</a><a class="footnote-ref" id="fnref:50" href="#fn:50">50</a>
In addition to evolving individual molecules, she has used directed evolution to co-evolve enzymes in biosynthetic pathways, such as those involved in the production of <a href="/facts/Carotenoid/Jm2eHYwW">carotenoids</a><a class="footnote-ref" id="fnref:51" href="#fn:51">51</a> and <a href="/facts/Methionine/7neydPKo">L-methionine</a><a class="footnote-ref" id="fnref:52" href="#fn:52">52</a> in <a href="/facts/Escherichia_coli/nR4Gvl56">Escherichia coli</a> (which has the potential to be used as a whole-cell biocatalyst).<a class="footnote-ref" id="fnref:53" href="#fn:53">53</a> She has applied these methods to <a href="/facts/Biofuel/RWu7b6Y3">biofuel</a> production. For example, she evolved bacteria to produce the biofuel <a href="/facts/Isobutanol/JNB4Hh9W">isobutanol</a>; it can be produced in E. coli bacteria, but the production pathway requires the <a href="/facts/Cofactor_(biochemistry)/AGo0PCUU">cofactor</a> <a href="/facts/Nicotinamide_adenine_dinucleotide_phosphate/XMgmPQ5t">NADPH</a>, whereas E. coli makes the cofactor <a href="/facts/Nicotinamide_adenine_dinucleotide/BHdLW925">NADH</a>. To circumvent this problem, she evolved the enzymes in the pathway to use NADH instead of NADPH, allowing for the production of isobutanol.<a class="footnote-ref" id="fnref:54" href="#fn:54">54</a><a class="footnote-ref" id="fnref:55" href="#fn:55">55</a>
Arnold has also used directed evolution to discover highly specific and efficient enzymes that can be used as environmentally-friendly alternatives to some industrial chemical synthesis procedures.<a class="footnote-ref" id="fnref:56" href="#fn:56">56</a> She, and others using her methods, have engineered enzymes that can carry out synthesis reactions more quickly, with fewer by-products, and in some cases eliminating the need for hazardous <a href="/facts/Heavy_metals/Cblmy8qI">heavy metals</a>.<a class="footnote-ref" id="fnref:57" href="#fn:57">57</a> 
She uses structure-guided protein recombination to combine parts of different proteins to form protein chimeras with unique functions. She developed computational methods, such as <a href="/facts/SCHEMA_(bioinformatics)/huYu11au">SCHEMA</a>, to predict how the parts can be combined without disrupting their parental structure, so that the chimeras will fold properly, and then applies directed evolution to further mutate the chimeras to optimize their functions.<a class="footnote-ref" id="fnref:58" href="#fn:58">58</a><a class="footnote-ref" id="fnref:59" href="#fn:59">59</a>
At Caltech, Arnold runs a laboratory that continues to study directed evolution and its applications in environmentally-friendly chemical synthesis and green/alternative energy, including the development of highly active enzymes (cellulolytic and biosynthetic enzymes) and microorganisms to convert renewable biomass to fuels and chemicals. A paper published in Science in 2019, with Inha Cho and Zhi-Jun Jia, has been retracted on January 2, 2020, as the results were found to be not reproducible.<a class="footnote-ref" id="fnref:60" href="#fn:60">60</a>
As of 2024<a href="https://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=Frances_Arnold&action=edit">[update]</a>, Arnold has an <a href="/facts/H-index/K9q5E93W">h-index</a> of 147 according to <a href="/facts/Google_Scholar/FhEwS2QM">Google Scholar</a>.<a class="footnote-ref" id="fnref:61" href="#fn:61">61</a>
