Hubbard was born in Vienna, Austria, and emigrated with her family to the United States in 1938. She earned both an A.B. in biochemical sciences and a doctorate in biology from Radcliffe College. After prestigious fellowships in London, England, and Copenhagen, Denmark, Hubbard began her affiliation with Harvard as a research fellow in 1953. After climbing the ranks to research associate, lecturer, and professor of biology, Hubbard continues to serve the university as professor emerita. Among her contributions to the field of biology are more than 150 articles in books, professional journals and popular magazines.
