Exploring the World of Plant Biology
An Interview with Dr. Elizabeth Sattely
Abstract
Dr. Elizabeth Sattely is an Associated Professor and HHMI Investigator in the Department of Chemical Engineering at Stanford and a Stanford ChEM-H Faculty Fellow. Dr. Sattely is interested in understanding how plants use creative chemical maneuvers to adapt to environmental stresses and communicate with other kingdoms of life as well as each other. Dr. Sattely’s research focuses on identifying and engineering plant metabolic pathways which allows for exploration of possibilities in enhancing plants’ fitness. Further, Dr. Sattely’s lab investigates the impact of food chemistry on health and develops innovative ways of investigating plant pathways.
Dr. Sattely attended Boston College for her graduate degree followed by post-doctoral work at Harvard Medical School where she worked on biosynthesis of antibiotic and bacterial natural products. Dr. Sattely and her lab has been recognized by an NIH New Innovator Award, a DOE Early Career Award, an HHMI-Simons Faculty Scholar Award, a DARPA Young Investigator Award, and a AAAS Mason Award for Women in the Chemical Sciences.
