Science Group Leader for Functional and Systems Biology

Biography

Kristin Burnum-Johnson is a Science Group Leader for Functional and Systems Biology at Pacific Northwest National Laboratory. Kristin earned her PhD in Biochemistry from Vanderbilt University with Professor Richard M. Caprioli and then completed a postdoctoral fellowship at PNNL with Dr. Richard D. Smith.

Critical challenges in systems biology, ranging from environmental ecosystems to human health, can be addressed more effectively by leveraging the comprehensive and informative view of underlying biological pathways provided by the integration of spatiotemporal multi-omic measurements (i.e., proteomics, metabolomics, and lipidomics). Kristin’s research is dedicated to achieving transformative molecular-level insights into environmental and biomedical systems by implementing advanced mass spectrometry (MS) instrumentation. She has more than 20 years of experience and more than 95 publications dedicated to the development and evaluation of in situ imaging MS, structural characterization of molecules using ion mobility-MS, and precise analyses of molecules in complex matrices using high-resolution MS. Her research program is funded by the U.S. Department of Energy (DOE) Biological and Environmental Research (BER) program, the DOE Bioenergy Technologies Office (BETO), and the National Institutes of Health (NIH).

In 2019, Kristin received an Early Career Research Program Award from the DOE’s Office of Science. As part of her DOE BER early career research program, she is applying a multi-omics approach to uncover the mechanisms that drive cooperative fungal-bacterial interactions that result in the degradation of lignocellulosic plant material in natural ecosystems. Insights obtained from these studies inform new strategies for producing advanced bioproducts and biofuels. 

As part of this research program, Kristin and her team developed a Metabolome-Informed Proteome Imaging (MIPI) workflow. This innovative MIPI workflow offers a comprehensive view of biological pathways at the micrometer scale, enhancing our understanding of the metabolic processes that fungi use to degrade plant matter. (Nature Chemical Biology 20, 1033–1043 (2024)).
