Prior to joining DOE in November 2008, Dr. B. Gail McLean was a National Program Leader for Plant Biology in the Competitive Programs Unit of the Cooperative State Research, Education and Extension Service (now the National Institute of Food and Agriculture), United States Department of Agriculture (USDA). She directed and provided leadership for four competitive grants programs while at USDA, three of which were in the National Research Initiative (NRI) competitive grants program: Plant Biology: Environmental Stress, Plant Biochemistry, Plant Breeding and Education, and Biotechnology Risk Assessment. She also served on the Interagency Metabolic Engineering Working Group and as an Acting Integrated Programs Director for the Competitive Programs unit. Gail received her Ph.D. in Molecular Genetics from the University of Georgia and has broad research experience in plant biochemistry and molecular and cell biology, conducting research in the Biochemistry Department at the University of Maryland-Baltimore Medical School and in the Plant & Microbial Biology Department at the University of California, Berkeley. |

Dr. Stack received his B.S. in Chemical and Cell Biology from the College of Agriculture and Environmental Sciences at Rutgers University in 1976, and his Ph.D in Biochemistry from the University of California, Davis in 1984. Following three years of postdoctoral work at Davis in the Department of Bacteriology with Bob Hungate investigating the anaerobic bacterial catabolism of cellulose, Dr. Stack joined the Fermentation Biochemistry unit at the USDA/ARS laboratory in Peoria, IL . There he elucidated the structures of a number of newly-discovered sugars thus far unique to anaerobic bacteria. Dr. Stack joined the staff of Glycomed, Inc. in the San Francisco Bay Area in 1989 as the head of a small "exploratory/discovery" research group that centered on developing carbohydrates as pharmaceuticals. Subsequently, he held a number of positions with other Bay Area biotechnology firms, where he acquired expertise in genomics (microarrays, DNA sequencing) and microfluidics, along with additional scientific and project management experience. Dr. Stack has over 50 peer-reviewed journal articles and patents, including a set of patents that served as the underlying technology platform for a start-up carbohydrate bioanalytics firm.
