Elizabeth Sattely

Elizabeth S. Sattely is an American scientist and biotechnology engineer.

Dr. Sattely completed her graduate training at Boston College in organic chemistry with Amir Hoveyda and her postdoctoral studies in biochemistry at Harvard Medical School with Christopher T. Walsh, where she worked on natural product biosynthesis in bacteria.

[3] Inspired by human reliance on plants and plant-derived molecules for food and medicine, the Sattely laboratory is focused on the discovery and engineering of plant metabolic pathways to make molecules that can enhance human health.

[4][5] These engineering targets include: Beyond fundamental research into biosynthesis of molecules important for human health, the Sattely lab also works on metabolites important for plant health, both in the realm of nutrient acquisition and defense response.

[15] Elizabeth Sattely is married to Dr. Michael Fischbach, associate professor of bioengineering at Stanford University.
