Postdoctoral Associate, Adams Lab

Jennifer Goff is an environmental microbiologist whose current research interests include nitrogen-cycling, metal cofactor utilization, and metal/metalloid toxicity in microorganisms living at highly contaminated sites. She received her B.S. in Biology from Georgia Institute of Technology in 2014 and her Ph.D. in Microbial Biology from Rutgers in 2020. She is currently a post-doctoral researcher in the Adams lab.
