Bond received her BS in science from Bennington College in Vermont in 1961, and an MS and PhD in biochemistry and physiology from Rutgers University in 1962 and 1966. She did postdoctoral work at Vanderbilt University until 1968, and then joined the faculty of the Department of Biochemistry at the Medical College of Virginia, Virginia Commonwealth University. She moved to Virginia Tech as Professor and Head of the Department of Biochemistry and Nutrition in 1988, and then to Penn States College of Medicine as Chair of Biochemistry and Molecular Biology in 1992.
Dr. Bond has a sustained interest in graduate education, having trained 14 PhD, 4 MD/PhD, and 4 MS students; she currently has 3 PhD students. She has also trained 18 postdoctoral fellows. She was director of the Medical Scientist Training Program at Penn State Hershey campus and obtained federal funding for this program. She served as Assistant Dean for Graduate Education from 1996-99, Co-Director of Graduate Education for the Life Sciences Consortium from 1995-2000, and Co-Director of the Chemical Biology Option of the Integrative Biosciences Graduate Program from 1996 to 2003. She served on several AAMC Committees, and most recently on the Steering Committee of the GREAT Group, 2003-06. Dr Bond’s service includes membership on the NIH Biochemistry Study Section 1987-91, which she chaired from 1989-91, and on the NIDDK Advisory Council of the NIH 1996-2000. Dr Bond was elected president of the Assoc of Medical and Graduate Departments of Biochemistry 1996-97, the Council of the International Proteolysis Society 1997-2001, and the Council of the American Society for Biochemistry and Molecular Biology 1996-99 and 2002-04. She was named YWCA Outstanding Woman in Science and Health in Virginia in 1989, and Virginia’s Outstanding Scientist in 1988, and was an NIH MERIT Awardee 1989-96. Her research on proteolysis, and particularly on unique and complex metalloproteases called meprins, has been funded continuously by the NIH for 30 years. She is an advocate for funding of fundamental, investigator-initiated research, the globalization of science, and the next generation of scientists.
