Lynette Cegelski
Lynette Cegelski received her BS degree in chemistry summa cum laude from Binghamton University, Binghamton, NY. She earned her PhD degree in chemistry from Washington University in St. Louis, MO, where she trained as a solid-state NMR spectroscopist. She developed new approaches to study plant and bacterial cell wall assembly in whole cells by solid-state NMR and tracked the fate of 13CO2 through soy bean leaves to study photosynthesis and photorespiration. She performed her postdoctoral research in microbiology and infectious diseases at the Washington University School of Medicine, where she identified the first inhibitors of bacterial amyloid assembly. Since 2009, Lynette has been an assistant professor in the Department of Chemistry at Stanford University, Stanford, CA. She has created an interdisciplinary research programme, inspired by the need for new and unconventional approaches to address and solve outstanding problems in biology. In particular, her laboratory is designing new strategies using solid-state NMR spectroscopy to define composition and structure in assemblies including bacterial cell walls and biofilms, and is working to identify small molecules to interfere with assembly processes to drive the development of new therapeutics. Lynette is the recipient of the Burroughs Wellcome Career Award at the Scientific Interface, the NIH Director's New Innovator Award, the Stanford Terman Fellowship, and the Hellman Faculty Scholar Award.
