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]

Education

[edit]

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]

Research career

[edit]

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]
