Kathryn Fixen

Kathryn Fixen is a microbiologist whose research addresses outstanding questions about how biology controls electron transfer. Dr. Fixen studies biological electron transfer to gain insight into how living systems can be harnessed for a sustainable bioeconomy. Her work has impacted understanding of how bacteria generate, partition, and use reducing equivalents, and her interdisciplinary approach has allowed her to study electron transfer from the organismal to the molecular level.
