Lisa Y. Stein is a Professor in the Department of Biological Sciences at the University of Alberta, where she also serves as Associate Dean of the Faculty of Science. Her research interests focus on Climate Change Microbiology, particularly the physiology, genomics, and ecology of microbial processes involving nitrogen metabolism and greenhouse gas production. Dr. Stein's laboratory investigates various pathways through which microorganisms process nitrogen and methane at molecular, whole-cell, and ecosystem levels, aiming to track the evolution of nitrogen metabolism and understand the links between methane and nitrogen cycles. She has received recognition as a Canada Research Chair for her contributions to the field. Dr. Stein is actively involved in numerous projects, including the Methane Oxidizing Bacteria (MOB Squad) and nitrogen cycle initiatives. She has been elected as a member of the American Academy of Microbiology and participates in various committees and workshops focused on addressing climate change and agricultural impacts. Dr. Stein teaches courses on microbial physiology and brings her expertise to collaborations aimed at improving nitrogen use efficiency in agriculture through biological alternatives.
