Elizabeth ("Liz") Eder is a project manager with the Environmental Molecular Sciences Laboratory (EMSL) User Program.

Previously, Liz served as a chemist with EMSL's Biomolecular Pathways Integrated Research Platform working on nuclear magnetic resonance (NMR) spectroscopy to perform metabolic profiling of complex mixtures from environmental and microbiological sources. Her research interests focused on applying NMR metabolomics to study the interactions between microbes, plants, and soils in nutrient cycling.
