SPEAKER: Steven E. Finkel, PhD

Professor of Biological Sciences,

Molecular & Computational Biology Section,

University of Southern California, Los Angeles, CA
2021-2022 President of the American Society for Microbiology

Dr. Finkel’s laboratory focuses on the long-term survival and evolution of bacteria, including applications to electricity production. Topics of current study include mechanisms of survival and DNA protection in stationary phase, the roles of error-prone DNA polymerases in generating diversity, the use of DNA as a nutrient, and the long-term survival of bacteria in microbial fuel cells and deep sub-seafloor environments. Model organisms include E. coli, Shewanella oneidensis, P. aeruginosa, Halomonas spp. and gut microbiota communities.
