Susan W. Herring is a Professor Emerita in the Department of Biology at the University of Washington. Her research focuses on the biomechanics of feeding mammals, particularly studying the normal function, growth processes, and muscular contractions associated with cranial structures. Utilizing physiological techniques such as electromyography and sonomicrography, her work seeks to understand how mechanical loading affects cell division and differentiation. One of her notable projects involves investigating the effects of paralysis on jaw bones induced by the use of Botox. She holds a Bachelor’s degree in Zoology from the University of Chicago and a Ph.D. in Anatomy from the same institution, accompanied by postdoctoral training in Oral Anatomy at the University of Illinois at Chicago. Herring has also served as a faculty member at both the University of Illinois at Chicago and the University of Washington since 1990, contributing significantly to the fields of Oral Health Sciences and Orthodontics.
