Scholia has a profile for Lynette Cegelski (Q41660233).

Lynette Cegelski is an American physical chemist and chemical biologist who studies extracellular structures such as biofilms and membrane proteins. She is an associate professor of chemistry and, by courtesy, of chemical engineering at Stanford University.[1] She is a Stanford Bio-X and Stanford ChEM-H affiliated faculty member.[2][3]

Education

Cegelski studied chemistry at SUNY Binghamton in New York and graduated summa cum laude and a member of Phi Beta Kappa in 1998.[2][4] She then worked in the lab of Jacob Schaefer at Washington University in St. Louis (WUSTL), earning a PhD in Biophysical Chemistry in 2004.[1][5][6] Her post-doctoral work was in Molecular Microbiology at the Washington University School of Medicine.[1]

Research

The Cegelski Lab investigates the structure and function of bacterial cell walls and extracellular structures, including amyloid fibers and biofilms.[1]
