And Bishop, biologist, while working towards her doctorate, Bishop studied parasitic amoebae and examined potential chemotherapies for the treatment of amoebaeic diseases including amoebaic dysentery. Elected to the Royal Society in 1959, Bishop was the founder of the British Society for Paracitology and served on the World Health Organization's malaria committee. Though Bishop intended to study chemistry, her lack of education and physics meant that she could not pursue her preferred course in the honors school of chemistry. During her undergraduate years, under the tutelage of the Helm Enthologist R.A. Wardle and the protozoologist Jeffrey Loppage, Bishop studied ciliates acquired from local ponds. Bishop's undergraduate work with Hickson was her first major research effort, concerning the reproduction of Spirostomum Ambiguum, a large ciliate that has been described as worm-like. In 1923, while working at Manchester University, Bishop was appointed an honorary research fellow. There, Bishop continued her work with Spirostomum as the only protozoologist on the faculty. Under Doble, Bishop studied parasitic amoebae found in the human gastrointestinal tract, focusing on the species responsible for amoebaic dysentery, and amoeba histolytica. Bishop's work evolved to include studies of drug resistance in both the parasites and the host organisms, the studies that would earn her a place in the Royal Society. In 1992, the British Society for Paracytology created a grant in Bishop's name, the N-Bishop Traveling Award, to aid young parasitologists in traveling for fieldwork where their parasites of interest are endemic.
