Bruce N. Ames,
Ph.D. |
| |
|
| |
| Past Chairman of the Department of
Biochemistry, University of California, Berkeley.
Dr. Ames is a preeminent scientist, acknowledged
by many international awards. He is known worldwide
for the Ames Salmonella Test ("Ames Test")
which has become a standard method in toxicology
for identifying carcinogenic chemicals. His multidisciplined
background includes work in biochemistry, metabolism,
microbiology, cell biology, regulation of gene expression,
and detection of environmental chemicals that cause
damage to DNA. Dr. Ames is currently working on
the biochemical genetics of human cells with particular
focus on aging and cancer. |

Kenn
Rudd, Ph.D. |
| |
| |
Associate Professor,
Biochemistry and Molecular Biology, University
of Miami, Miami, FL. Dr. Rudd has been a Professor
at the University of Miami since 1997. Prior to
joining the University, Dr. Rudd was at the National
Institutes of Health from 1983 through 1987, and
the U.S. Food and Drug Administration from 1987
through 1991. From 1991 through 1996, Dr. Rudd
was at the National Center for Biotechnology Information.
He is a highly regarded expert and pioneer in
bioinformatics, especially in detailed genome
annotation of model cell organisms, such as Salmonella
and E. coli. |

John
M. Sedivy, Ph.D. |
| |
| |
|
Professor, Department of Molecular Biology,
Cell Biology and Biochemistry, Brown University
since 1996. In 2000, Dr. Sedivy became the
Director of the Center for Genetics and
Genomics at Brown University. From 1988
to 1995, Dr. Sedivy was an Assistant and
then Associate Professor at Yale University
in the Department of Molecular Biophysics
and Biochemistry. Dr. Sedivy is a highly
regarded expert in somatic cell genetics,
with particular interest in cell cycle regulation
and cancer. |

| John L.
Ingraham, Ph.D. |
| |
| |
| Past President
of the American Society for Microbiology and
Past Chairman of the Department of Bacteriology,
University of California, Davis. Dr. Ingraham
is an internationally renowned expert in microbial
physiology, co-author of several major textbooks
in the field, and former editor-in-chief of
Microbiological Reviews. His research
principally centered around the physiological
genetics of pseudomonads. He has studied various
microorganisms and their commercial applications
including yeasts, wine fermentations, and
the production of aliphatic alcohols. Other
areas of research have included physiological
genetics of bacteria, denitrification, biosynthesis,
and regulation of metabolism in bacteria. |

| Elliot Juni,
Ph.D. |
| |
| |
| Professor, Department
of Microbiology, University of Michigan. Dr.
Juni is a distinguished scientist and educator.
He has expertise in both genetic and metabolic
aspects of microbiology. He has pioneered
in developing and applying techniques based
on bacterial transformation. The techniques
he developed have proven extremely helpful
in defining the bacterial taxonomy of Acinetobacters
and Moraxellas. His expertise in that area
has been valuable to Biolog in the development
of its bacteria identification products. He
has developed and patented a transformation-based
assay for the diagnosis of gonorrhea from
specimens that do not have viable cells. |

| Ralph S.
Wolfe, Ph.D. |
| |
| |
| Professor of Microbiology,
University of Illinois. Dr. Wolfe is a preeminent
authority on anaerobic bacteria and anaerobic
metabolism. His current work focuses on methanogens,
a group of microorganisms which he and his
co-workers discovered in the 1970's. Dr. Wolfe
and his colleagues showed that methanogens
belong to an ancient and phylogenetically
distinct group of life forms which probably
played an important role in the early evolution
of the planet. Prior to this, he worked on
photosynthetic bacteria, bioenergetics, and
microbial metabolism of minerals. Over his
extensive career, he has dealt with diverse
and fundamental problems in microbiology including
physiology, metabolism, taxonomy, ecology,
and design of selective enrichment media. |
