Шаблон:Short description

E. Virginia Armbrust is a biological oceanographer, professor, and current director of the University of Washington School of Oceanography.[1] She is an elected member of the Washington State Academy of Science,[2] an elected fellow of the American Association for the Advancement of Science,[3] and an elected fellow of the American Academy of Microbiology.[4]

Education

Armbrust obtained a bachelor's degree in human biology at Stanford University in 1980. She then proceeded to obtain a PhD in biological oceanography from the Massachusetts Institute of Technology and Woods Hole Oceanographic Institution in 1990.[5]

Research career

Following her doctorate, Armbrust began working as a postdoctoral researcher. She then became faculty at the University of Washington in 1996 and was elected director of the School of Oceanography in 2011.[5]

Armbrust's current research focuses on phytoplankton and their interactions with bacteria. She is an investigator of the Simons Foundation in microbial oceanography.[6]

She led a project which assembled the genome for a type of marine Euryarchaeota that could not be cultured in the lab. This involved sequencing the genomes of a mixtures of microorganisms from seawater, and assembling related sequence fragments into a complete genome for the marine Euryarchaeota specifically.[7][8]
