Daniela Stock FAA is an Australian scientist at the Victor Chang Cardiac Research Institute with a conjoint position at the University of New South Wales in Sydney, Australia. She is a structural biologist whose research has provided insight into the molecular picture of rotary ATPases.[2]

Stock was a graduate student and postdoctoral scientist at the Max Planck Institute of Biochemistry in Munich, Germany.[3]

Stock started the Structural and Computational Biology Division at the Victor Chang Cardiac Research Institute.[citation needed] She was elected as a Fellow of the Australian Academy of Science in 2016.[4][5]

Career[edit]

Stock has led ground breaking work describing molecular rotary motors which are used in the conversion of biological energy, known as rotary ATPases.[6] The Australian Academy of Science states that Stock has "redefined bioenergetics of the 1990s by solving the x-ray structure" of yeast mitochondrial ATPase.[7] Stock has worked on the structure and function of ATP synthases, as the Principal Investigator on multiple NHMRC grants .[8] She was a proponent of the development plan for use of Crystallographers using the Australian Synchrotron, to create a high-speed Macromolecular Crystallography Environment.[9]

Media[edit]

Stock was interviewed in 2106 Challenging Ideas series from IBMCINEB, where researchers from Seminars invited speakers discuss thought provoking ideas. She commented that grant funders have short spans, and "translational research in three years is too short, meaning long term research is more valuable", as well as "good discoveries come from basic research".[1] Stock has also contributed to the International Union of Crystallography.[10]

Her selection to the Australian Academy in 2016 described her as providing 'pioneering work'.[11] The UNSW Campus Morning Mail "leadership line-up" described her as 'one of 21 Fab Fellows'.[5]
