Margaret Jope

Henriette Margaret Jope, born Halliday (* 1913 in Peterhead, Scotland, † 2004 probably at Oxford) was a British biochemist.

Life and work

She studied chemistry at Aberdeen University, and earned his DPhil at Somerville College, Oxford. She met her future husband Martyn Jope while working on the Dyson Perrins Laboratory, University of Oxford. After their marriage, Margaret accompanied her husband Martyn to Belfast, where he became professor of archeology at Queen's University was later.

Margaret continued her research continued in the Geology Department of the University of Belfast, where she primarily on the subject of brachiopods ( Brachiopoda ) worked, especially the shells of protein. Her other research included the crystallization of hemoglobin, and in collaboration with her husband Martyn, she examined animal bones, especially bird bones in archaeological sites, especially in Northern Ireland and Oxfordshire.

Margaret and Martin were closely linked to each other and shared all aspects of life together from the music, to joint publications on biochemical and biological studies. Both were a Fellow of the London Society for antiquarians, and together they were regular visitors at the Burlington House, both during the semester break from Queen's University and retired, they spent together at her home in Oxford.
