Mary E. Lidstrom is a Professor of Microbiology at the University of Washington. She also holds the Frank Jungers Chair of Engineering, in the Department of Chemical Engineering. She currently is a fellow of the American Academy of Microbiology, a member of the National Academy of Sciences and serves on the editorial boards of the Journal of Bacteriology and FEMS Microbial Ecology. [1]
Lidstrom received a B.S. degree in Microbiology from Oregon State University and an M.S. and PhD in Bacteriology from the University of Wisconsin-Madison. [2]
Lidstrom's work spans microbial physiology and natural complex microbial communities and has applications to biotechnology. Specifically, she has worked extensively on methylotroph bacteria that grow on one-carbon compounds. [3]
After conducting her doctorate research on C-1 metabolism in Methylobacterium organophilum, [4] Lidstrom undertook post-doctoral research at University of Sheffield UK with J. Rodney Quayle on species of the methylotrophic yeasts Hansenula and Candida, [5]: 343 and then returned to the US with faculty posts at the University of Washington, University of Wisconsin-Milwaukee and the California Institute of Technology where she has taught courses on microbiology, oceanography, environmental engineering science, chemical engineering and bioengineering. While at Caltech she served as Vice-Chair of the Faculty. [6] In 1996 she moved to University of Washington and has remained there. [7]
Lidstrom is a fellow of the American Academy of Microbiology and a member of the National Academy of Sciences from 2013. [2] Lidstrom was the Vice Provost of Research at the University of Washington from 2005 until 2021. [8] [9] In addition, she served as Associate Dean for New Initiatives in Engineering from 1997 to 2005 and Interim Provost from 2010 to 2011. [10]
Lidstrom is the author or co-author of over 300 scientific publications. These include:
