Summary
Chris Marshall is a tenure-track assistant professor and microbial systems scientist with 11 years of experience bridging wet-lab microbiology and computational bioinformatics. He earned a PhD in Microbiology and Immunology after training in anaerobic metabolism and extracellular electron transport, then extended that expertise with a Director’s postdoctoral fellowship at Argonne applying computational tools to microbial community interactions. At the University of Pittsburgh he used bioinformatics to probe antimicrobial resistance targets and metabolic interactions in multispecies communities, and now leads a research group of 6–10 people at Marquette University. His work uniquely blends fundamental microbial electrochemistry with community-scale computational modeling, informing bioenergy, bioremediation, and microbial ecology. Based in Milwaukee, he combines hands-on experimental insight with data-driven analysis to tackle complex, applied environmental microbiology problems.
