In 1992, Dyson was appointed an associate professor at the department of molecular biology at the Scripps Research Institute.[7] In 2001, she was promoted to professor.[7]

Dyson applies biophysical techniques including Nuclear Magnetic Resonance Spectroscopy (NMR), mass spectrometry, circular dichroism, and fluorescence spectroscopy to study the relationships between the amino acid sequences of proteins and their structure and function.[5] Dyson is well known for her work on intrinsically disordered proteins.[9][5][10][11]

Awards and honours

Dyson has received several awards for her research including the Roslyn Flora Goulston Prize for Biochemistry from the University of Sydney in 1971.[7] The Postdoctoral Award from the Damon Runyon-Walter Winchell Cancer Fund in 1977.[7] In 2009, she was awarded a D.Sc. from the Faculty of Science at the University of Sydney.[7] In 2010, Dyson received the Distinguished Scientist Award from the San Diego Section of the American Chemical Society.[7]
