Biography:

Dr. Adam Deutschbauer is an expert in bacterial functional genomics and systems biology. For the past 10 years, his lab has focused on the development and application of genetic tools to rapidly characterize uncharacterized genes from diverse bacteria. His lab makes extensive use of laboratory automation, chemical libraries, and multiplexed assays to generate extensive genetic datasets in bacteria. More recently, he has been interested in understanding the roles of microorganisms in their natural environment, with a focus on rhizosphere bacteria.

The Deutschbauer group is part of a large DOE-funded project and as such, is highly collaborative. In the past 5 years, his laboratory has provided guidance and resources to dozens of labs interested in high-throughput genetics. Since 2018, he has also been an adjunct assistant professor in the Plant and Microbial Biology Department at UC Berkeley. He is also the Department Head of Comparative and Functional Genomics at the Lawrence Berkeley National Laboratory, USA.
