Julia Vorholt elected International Member of the National Academy of Sciences

The National Academy of Sciences recently announced the election of 120 members and 24 international members in recognition of their distinguished and continuing achievements in original research. The total number of active members is now 2,617 and the total number of international members 537. International members are nonvoting members of the Academy, with citizenship outside the United States.

The primary interest of the Vorholt laboratory is to learn how bacterial physiology is shaped by the environment with a focus on the plant microbiota. They perform functional analyses at different hierarchical scales, from the level of metabolites and proteins, to individual cells, to bacterial communities, to plant-​​microbe interactions and the ecosystem. The group's research involves a range of complementary disciplines and approaches, including metabolomics, (meta)proteomics, transcriptomics, microscopy, metabolic engineering, as well as novel tools in nanotechnology for single cell analysis.
