The Chlamydomonas Sourcebook

Ursula Goodenough?is Professor of Biology Emerita at Washington University in St. Louis. She earned her PhD at Harvard University, where her thesis and postgraduate work focused on the biogenesis and ultrastructure of the Chlamydomonas chloroplast. In 1971, she initiated a career-spanning analysis of the Chlamydomonas sexual cycle and cell wall using a combination of genetics, ultrastructure, and molecular biology. She also used these approaches to study Chlamydomonas cilia and lipid-body formation. Key collaborators included Steven Adair, Patrick Ferris, Sabine Waffenschmidt, James Umen, and Jae-Hyeok Lee. Since retiring in 2017, she has completed a wide-ranging ultrastructural study of lichens.
