Clearing the Record
In the section on new faculty members on Page 3 of the Oct. 28 edition of
the Chronicle, an incorrect photo
accompanied the piece on Eugene Madsen, assistant
professor of microbiology.
Here, again, is the profile:
Eugene L. Madsen
Assistant professor, microbiology
College: Agriculture and Life Sciences
Academic focus: Interests include understanding microorganisms and their
activities in soil, water, sediments and ground
water. Because microorganisms play a crucial role in nutrient cycling (carbon, nitrogen,
pollutants), he has developed criteria for proving these processes occur in the field. His
research documents the detoxification of contaminants and the exchange of biodegradation genes within
microbial communities.
Previous position: Research and teaching,
microbiology and environmental toxicology, Division of
Biological Sciences, Cornell.
Academic background: B.A., chemistry, University of California at
Santa Cruz, 1975; B.S., soil science, Oregon State University, Corvallis, 1978;
and M.S., soil science, microbiology, 1981, and
Ph.D., soil science, microbiology, ecology, Cornell, 1985.
