Fordyce was born and raised in Washington, DC.[2]

Education

Fordyce double-majored in physics and biology at the University of Colorado Boulder, graduating in 2000. She then began a PhD in the lab of Steven Block at Stanford University, where she worked as part of a team that developed new microscopes for applying force to molecules and understanding how it affected their movements, receiving her PhD in 2007. She then pursued her postdoctoral work at UCSF in Joe DeRisi's laboratory. She has been a professor at Stanford since 2014.[2]

Research

Fordyce's lab develops approaches for high throughput quantitative biochemistry and biophysics, and single cell assays, using a variety of approaches, often utilizing microfluidics.[3]
