Susan S. Suarez，女， 1981年获美国弗吉尼亚大学生物学博士学位，于1981-1985年在加州大学进行遗传生物学博士后研究。现为康奈尔大学生物医学系教授，是生殖生物学领域著名专家，美国生殖研究学会SSR主席，生殖生物学领域顶尖杂志Biology of Reproduction副主编，及Reproduction in Domestic Animals副主编，担任NIH评审专家，以及多家权威杂志评委，如Nature, Nature Genetics, PNAS, JBC, JCI等。承担多项NIH、USDA和NSF课题，主要研究领域为哺乳动物精子功能以及避孕。Susan S. Suarez教授独特的研究贡献在于深入系统研究了哺乳动物精子在雌性生殖道的运动，部分成果已经被写入相关教科书。这些研究既是哺乳动物生殖生理研究的重要内容，也为进一步研究优生、不育及避孕新途径等方面提供了重要参考。
