Seminar
(Seminar/Conference)
Speaker: Dr. Ann Stevens
Professor of Biological Sciences
Virginia Tech
Topic: Social Networking in the Bacterial World
Dr. Stevens earned her Ph.D. in 1993 from the Dept. of Microbiology at the University of Illinois at Urbana-Champaign in the laboratory of Abigail A. Salyers. For the next four years, she served as a postdoctoral research associate under the supervision of E. Peter Greenberg, then in the Dept. of Microbiology at the University of Iowa. This is where she began studying aspects of a form of bacterial cell to cell communication known as quorum sensing using the model organism Vibrio fischeri. In 1997, she began a faculty position at Virginia Tech in the Dept. of Biological Sciences as an assistant professor and was promoted with tenure to associate professor in 2004 and to full professor in 2010. Research in her laboratory is currently focused on quorum sensing in the Vibrios and in the plant pathogen Pantoea stewartii.
