About
Katherine A. Hollywood is a leading researcher at the intersection of analytical chemistry and synthetic biology, whose work is pioneering new ways to probe and engineer biological systems. Her primary research areas include high-throughput mass spectrometry, single-cell analysis, and the metabolic engineering of natural products. Dr. Hollywood’s most impactful contribution is her comprehensive 2018 review on high-throughput screening of complex biological samples, which has garnered 90 citations and serves as a foundational resource for scientists moving from bulk measurements to single-cell analysis. She has also developed an automated pipeline for screening diverse monoterpene synthase libraries (37 citations), a key achievement in synthetic biology that accelerates the discovery of new pharmaceuticals, flavors, and biofuels. This work demonstrates her ability to merge automation with biological discovery, enabling the rapid characterization of enzyme variants. Dr. Hollywood’s research is not only advancing fundamental understanding but also providing practical tools for industrial biotechnology, making her a pivotal figure in the drive toward more efficient, high-resolution biological screening.
