American physical chemist and chemical biologist
Lynette Cegelski is an
American
physical chemist and
chemical biologist who studies
extracellular structures such as
biofilms and
membrane proteins . She is an
associate professor of
chemistry and, by courtesy, of
chemical engineering at
Stanford University .
[1] She is a
Stanford Bio-X and Stanford ChEM-H affiliated faculty member.
[2]
[3]
Education
Cegelski studied chemistry at
SUNY Binghamton in
New York and graduated
summa cum laude and a member of
Phi Beta Kappa in 1998.
[2]
[4] She then worked in the lab of Jacob Schaefer at
Washington University in St. Louis (WUSTL), earning a
PhD in
Biophysical Chemistry in 2004.
[1]
[5]
[6] Her post-doctoral work was in Molecular Microbiology at the
Washington University School of Medicine .
[1]
Research
The Cegelski Lab investigates the structure and function of bacterial cell walls and extracellular structures, including amyloid fibers and biofilms.

Key Publications
Cegelski has authored or co-authored multiple publications that have been cited 100 or more times. As of January 2021, these include:
Awards
Cegelski's work has earned her several awards:
Presidential Early Career Award for Scientists and Engineers (PECASE)
[14]
