Professor Jeffrey Gralnick obtained his PhD in bacteriology from the University of Wisconsin-Madison and went on to conduct post-doctoral research at Caltech in geo-microbiology. He joined the University of Minnesota in 2005, becoming a full professor in 2018 and was elected to the American Academy of Microbiology in 2022.
