Igor B. Jouline, Ph.D.
Ohio State University
Igor Jouline, Ph.D., is the Rod Sharp Endowed Professor in the department of microbiology at The Ohio State University. His research focuses on the evolution and mechanisms of signal transduction in bacteria. Trained in classical microbial physiology and biochemistry, he transitioned to computational biology, which provides him with a unique background in both “wet” and “dry” microbiology.
Jouline was a Wellcome Trust Fellow at the University of Oxford (United Kingdom) and a distinguished staff member at the U.S. Department of Energy Oak Ridge National Laboratory. He served as a chair of the International Odysseus Jury (Belgian Research Foundation) and several review panels at the National Institutes of Health. He was elected to the American Academy of Microbiology in 2017 and became a Fellow of the American Association for the Advancement of Science in 2019. He currently serves on the board of editors of the ASM flagship journal mBio.
Jouline received his BS in biology and MS in biophysics from Saratov State University (Russia), and his Ph.D. in microbiology from St. Petersburg State University (Russia).
