About the Maynard and Suzanne Goldman Guest Lectureship:
Suzanne and Maynard Goldman first came to Woods Hole when Maynard was named to the Council of Visitors in 1998. He served in this capacity and on the MBL’s finance committee until 2003. During this time the Goldmans developed a strong affection for the MBL’s professional staff and the exciting work being done here. Maynard and Suzanne have both had a particular interest in ongoing research and developments in the environmental sciences. Maynard has worked with a number of non-profits in this area, served as chairman of the Massachusetts Environmental Trust for more than 15 years and has been a member of the advisory board of the National Whale Conservation Fund. The Goldmans live in Boston and Grantham, NH. They are pleased to be able to sponsor this lectureship to help continue the tradition of excellence at the MBL.
Dr. Rudolf Amann studied Biology and Chemistry at the Technische Universität, Munich from 1980 to 1986, he then received his Ph.D. from the Dept. of Microbiology, Technische Universität in 1988, and was a Postdoc at the University of Illinois from 1988 to 1989. He returned to Munich as an Assistant Professor in the Department of Microbiology at Technische Universität from 1990 to 1996, before he moved to Bremen to head an Independent Research Group “Molecular Ecology” at the Max Planck Institute for Marine Microbiology from 1997 to 2001. There he was appointed Director, and acts as Head of the Department of Molecular Ecology. He also is a Professor for Molecular Ecology at the University of Bremen (since May 2001). Dr. Amann’s research focuses on the investigation of the diversity, structure and distribution of microbial populations through approaches based on nucleic acid analyses. |
