Biography:
Natalia Dudareva is a Distinguished Professor in the Department of Biochemistry and an Interim Director for Center for Plant Biology at Purdue University in West Lafayette, Indiana. She received her M.S. in Biology and Biochemistry from Novosibirsk State University, Russia and her PhD training at the Institute of Biochemistry, Kiev, Ukraine and the University of Louis Pasteur, Strasbourg, France. After a postdoctoral training at the University of Michigan, Dr. Dudareva joined the Department of Horticulture and Landscape Architecture, Purdue University in 1997 and received a distinguished professorship in 2010. She joined the Department of Biochemistry in 2013. Research in Dudareva laboratory focuses on understanding biochemical and molecular mechanisms controlling the formation of primary and secondary (phenylpropanoid and terpenoid) metabolites in plants using the power of genetic and biochemical approaches combined with metabolic flux analysis and modelling. With initial focus on plant volatiles, her group has not only identified many genes involved in the final steps of their biosynthesis but also discovered the primary metabolic networks that supply precursors for volatile formation. Her group also showed that active biological mechanisms are involved in transporting volatile compounds from plant cells to the atmosphere.

Dr. Dudareva published almost 130 papers, 28 book chapters and 3 books, and has given more than 200 invited lectures at the conferences and other universities. She received recognition for her research as Purdue University faculty scholar and the Wickersham chair of excellence in Agricultural Research.  She was awarded the Purdue University Agriculture Research Award, Sigma Xi Faculty Research Award, the Alexander von Humboldt Research Award (Germany) and 2018 Herbert Newby McCoy Award, Purdue’s most prestigious award given for outstanding work in the natural sciences. In 2010, she was elected as a Fellow of the American Association for the Advancement of Science. Recent work from her lab appears in Nature Chemical Biology (Lynch et al., 2020; Pan et al., 2020; Boachon et al., 2019); Nature Communications (Qian et al., 2019); Nature Plants (Henry et al., 2018), and Science (Adebesin et al., 2017).
