crawford@uidaho.edu
Dr. Crawford’s expertise lies in environmental microbiology, microbial physiology, bacterial genetics, and molecular ecology. He has published more than 200 papers in specific areas of applied environmental microbiology including subsurface microbiology, biodegradation of hazardous waste, characterization of microbial catabolic pathways, study of microbial enzymes, genetic analyses of microbial catabolism, environmental genomics (metagenomics), and astrobiology. His present research continues in all of these areas.

Andrzej J. Paszczynski, Ph.D.
EBI Associate Director, Associate Professor
http://www.cals.uidaho.edu/mmbb/paszczynski.asp
andrzej@uidaho.edu
Dr. Paszczynski studies biodegradation of organic compounds including nitroaromatic, chlorinated aromatic and aliphatic, azo, and petroleum hydrocarbon compounds by bacteria and fungi, reaction mechanisms of peroxidases and ligninase, and the use of enzyme-activated nanoparticles for in situ bioremediation of aquifers. His recent areas of specialization include: the biochemistry of iron transport, characterization of novel siderophores, study of the impact of reactive oxygen species on living systems, and development of instrumental analysis methods with an emphasis on chromatographic, spectroscopic, and spectrometric methods. He extensively uses electrospray tandem mass spectrometry (ESI-MS/MS) and MALDI Q-Tof MS/MS in his on-going research.
