    N. Louise Glass is the Fred E. Dickinson Chair of Wood Science and Technology at the University of California, Berkeley. She specialises in plant and microbial biology, particularly fungal cell biology and genetics

    Education

    Glass gained her Ph.D. in plant pathology from the University of California, Davis in 1986.

    Career

    Her career and research has been in fungal cell biology and genetics and how these can be applied to biofuels and biotechnology.

    After graduation she worked with Robert Metzenberg on fungal genetics and molecular biology at the University of Wisconsin, Madison. In 1989 Glass was appointed as an assistant professor at the University of British Columbia Biotechnology Laboratory where she worked on genetic and molecular analyses of mating type, nonself recognition and programmed cell death in filamentous fungi. In 1999 she was recruited to the Plant and Microbial Biology Department at University of California, Berkeley, where she holds the UCB Fred E. Dickinson Chair of Wood Science and Technology.

    Her research areas continue to include the sensing and response to carbon sources by fungi, which has applications in the production of biofuels through the use of fungi to degrade plant cell walls to bioethanol. She has also studied self-recognition in fungi, the way in which fungi can recognise self and non-self hyphae.

    Awards

    In March 2019 she was awarded the Robert L. Metzenberg Award in Fungal Genetics by the Neurospora research community. In 2021 she was elected a member of the National Academy of Sciences.

    Glass is a fellow of the American Association for the Advancement of Science from 2005, elected a fellow of the American Academy of Microbiology in 2010 and elected as a fellow of the Mycological Society of America in 2017.

    In 2021, she was elected member of the U. S. National Academy of Sciences.

    Publications

    Glass is the author or co-author of at least 150 scientific papers, book chapters and patents. These include:
