C. elegans. She particularly studies
olfaction in the worm. She has been elected to the
National Academy of Sciences and is currently a

Biography
Bargmann grew up in
Athens, Georgia, one of four children, and the daughter of Rolf Bargmann, a statistician and computer scientist at the
University of Georgia.
and completed undergraduate studies at the
University of Georgia in 1981, with a degree in
biochemistry. She completed graduate studies in 1987 at
M.I.T. in the lab of
Robert Weinberg. She examined the molecular mechanisms of
oncogenesis, and helped identify the role of
Ras in bladder cancer. She also did significant work on
neu, an
oncogene that later lead to significant treatments in
breast cancer.
Bargmann then completed a postdoc with
H. Robert Horvitz at MIT, working on
molecular biology mechanisms of
neuroscience. She began working on chemosensory behavior in
C. elegans, and achieved several breakthroughs, demonstrating, among other things, that
