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.
Education[]
Lidstrom received a B.S. degree in Microbiology from Oregon State University and an M.S. and Ph.D. in Bacteriology from the University of Wisconsin-Madison.[1]
Research career[]
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.[2]
After conducting her doctorate research on C-1 metabolism in Methylobacterium organophilum,[3] Lidstrom undertook post-doctoral research at University of Sheffield UK with J. Rodney Quayle on species of the methylotrophic yeasts Hansenula and Candida,[4]:343 and then returned to the USA with faculty posts at the University of Washington, University of Wisconsin-Milwaukee and the California Institute of Technology. In 1995 she moved to University of Washington and has remained there.[1]
Lidstrom is a fellow of the American Academy of Microbiology and a member of the National Academy of Sciences from 2013.[1] Lidstrom was the Vice Provost of Research at the University of Washington from 2005 until 2021.[5][6]
