Amy Claire Rosenzweig (born 1967) is a professor of Chemistry and Molecular Biosciences at Northwestern University. She was born in Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania. She received her B. A. in chemistry from Amherst College in 1988, and her Ph. D. from Massachusetts Institute of Technology in 1994. At MIT, Rosenzweig worked under the supervision of Stephen J. Lippard where she pioneered the structural studies of the hydroxylase component of methane monooxygenase from methyloccous capsulatus. Her current research interests include structural biology and bioinorganic chemistry, metal uptake and transport, oxygen activation by metalloenzymes, and characterization of membrane protein. For her work, she has been recognized by a number of national and international awards, including the MacArthur "Genius" Award in 2003.
