Biographical History
Professor Bernice Katz Noble taught at the State University of New York at Buffalo School of Medicine from 1977 until 2003. She made significant contributions through her scholarly work and through her tireless activism for affirmative action and women's rights. Born in Philadelphia, Pa. in 1940, she graduated from Bryn Mawr College in 1962. She received a master's degree from Brandeis University in 1964 and a Ph.D. in Microbiology from the State University of New York at Buffalo in 1975. Two years later, she joined the faculty of the University as a professor of Microbiology and Immunology. Over the course of her career, she published over one hundred journal articles in her areas of interest and expertise, such as immunologic damage with functional impairment and the relations between autoimmunity and gender. She devoted significant time and efforts to advancing women's careers at the University. She worked tirelessly to increase the number of female students and tenure-track faculty in the sciences. She served as co-chair of the President's Task force on the Status of Women at the University from 1996 to 1997. The final report (authored by Noble and co-chair John M. Staley) from that task force led directly to increased salary parity, a stronger affirmative action office, and enhanced child-care facilities at the University.
