Judith Poë is a Professor Emerita at the University of Toronto, specializing in bioinorganic chemistry with a focus on metalloenzyme mechanisms and the design of inorganic complexes that mimic functionality. Her research involves the study of copper and iron-containing oxidases and oxygenases, particularly investigating the implications of binuclear metal centers in enzymes for disease treatment using metal complexes in chemotherapy. Additionally, she has contributed to chemistry education through the development of active learning pedagogies, including problem-based learning and service learning. This pedagogical approach emphasizes real-world problem-solving as a key feature of the learning experience, contrasting traditional instructional methods. Poë has engaged her students in credit-bearing coursework that integrates community service with critical reflection, facilitating the acquisition of both content knowledge and socially relevant skills related to the discipline's role in society.
