Professor William B. Whitman
University of Georgia, USA

William “Barny” Whitman received his PhD in 1978 from The University of Texas at Austin with Bob Tabita studying the enzyme RuBisCO from Rhodospirillum rubrum.

He continued his research on autotrophic prokaryotes during his postdoctoral studies on the methane-producing Archaea with Ralph Wolfe at the University of Illinois at Urbana. He joined the Department of Microbiology at the University of Georgia in 1982 where his laboratory uses an integrated approach to understand the nature of free-living prokaryotes of environmental importance.

His research seeks to integrate our understanding of the ecology and systematics of prokaryotes with their physiological, molecular biological and biochemical processes. This integrated approach has been to study the methane-producing archaeon Methanococcus, the marine roseobacteria, and soil bacteria.

Since 2006, he has served as Director of the Editorial Office for Bergeys Manual Trust. He worked on the 2nd edition of Bergeys Manual of Systematic Bacteriology, volumes 3-5, which includes descriptions of the Actinobacteria, Firmicutes, Bacteriodetes, and a number of other taxa.

He particularly enjoyed working with Wolfgang Ludwig and Jean Euzéby on the Roadmaps for these taxa. Reconciling the taxonomy with the phylogeny has made it easier to understand the biological basis for some of the taxa and illustrated the large gaps in our knowledge of many groups.

Dr William Wade

Dr William Wade
Queen Mary University of London, UK

Current research interests are the characterisation of the composition of the human microbiome, determination of the functional roles of members of the microbiome in health and disease and the development of novel methods for the culture of the majority of the microbiome which has yet to be cultured. The description of novel human-associated bacterial species is a major focus. An in-vitro biofilm model has been developed which is being used in the development and evaluation of novel prevention measures and treatments, such as probiotics, for microbiome-associated diseases.

Dr Naomi Ward

Professor Naomi Ward
University of Wyoming, USA

Research in the Ward laboratory is conducted on bacteria, and focuses on evolutionary cell biology and ecology. We have a particular interest in the unusual endomembranes of planctomycete bacteria (especially Gemmata obscuriglobus), how these features evolved within the planctomycete lineage, and their functional consequences for the biology of the cell. While most of our recent work has been on the spatial organization of gene expression, we are also interested in other structural and functional aspects of the endomembranes. Most of our ecology work is conducted within the human gastrointestinal tract, where we are examining the contribution of the gut microbiome to pediatric health and disease. Our primary focus is on Hirschsprung's disease, a developmental defect of the enteric nervous system that often leads to enterocolitis, a serious inflammatory condition. Our recent work suggests that the primary developmental defect alters early microbial colonization of the gut, which may predispose these patients to enterocolitis. A future goal is to apply an improved understanding of these processes to the development of more effective clinical interventions.
