ELIZABETH SATTELY

Elizabeth S. Sattely is an Associate Professor of Chemical Engineering in the Department of Chemical Engineering, an HHMI investigator, and a ChEM-H Faculty Fellow] at Stanford University.

Dr. Sattely completed her graduate training at Boston College in organic chemistry with Amir Hoveyda and her postdoctoral studies in biochemistry at Harvard Medical School with Christopher T. Walsh, where she worked on natural product biosynthesis in bacteria.

Inspired by human reliance on plants and plant-derived molecules for food and medicine, the Sattely laboratory is focused on the discovery and engineering of plant metabolic pathways to make molecules that can enhance human health. Work in the Sattely 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.
