Biography

Maude David works as a post-doctoral researcher at Stanford University. She graduated with a Bachelors in Biochemistry, and a Masters in Microbial Ecology from the University of Lyon. She completed her PhD at the Ecole Centrale de Lyon (engineering school in the University of Lyon) on the “Bacterial Adaptation to Chlorinated Compounds”, and spent 4 years as post-doctoral fellow at Lawrence Berkeley National Laboratory. Maude has published a range of scientific articles from the development of molecular biology tools to monitor microbial activity in the environment to chlorinated solvent biodegradation to microbial ecology of hydrocarbon spills (e.g., Deepwater Horizon). She now works on role of the gut microbiome in children with autism.
