Paula Veronica Welander is a microbiologist and professor at Stanford University [1] biomarkers to investigate how life evolved on Earth.
Early life and career [ edit ]
Welander was born and raised in the San Fernando Valley. Her mother and father immigrated from Mexico to Los Angeles in the early 1970’s.[2] Occidental College in Los Angeles in 1998.[3] University of Illinois at Urbana-Champaign .[3] Massachusetts Institute of Technology in the Departments of Biology and of Earth, Atmospheric, and Planetary Sciences.[4] Stanford University in 2013,[3] [4]
Research [ edit ]
Welander's graduate research examined factors controlling the use of methane by a group of Archaea .[5] hopanoids .[6] [7] [8] [9] triterpenoid lipids in aquatic environments.[10] [11] [12] [13]
Honors and awards [ edit ]
In 2018, Welander received the Geobiology and Geomicrobiology Division Award for Outstanding Research from the Geological Society of America .[14] [3]
