Dr. Meldrum, Dean of the Ira A. Fulton School of Engineering (IAFSE), is also director of the Center for EcoGenomics at the Biodesign Institute at Arizona State University. In addition, Meldrum directs a National Institutes of Health Center of Excellence in Genomic Science. Her research interests include genome automation, microscale systems for biological applications, ecogenomics, robotics and control systems. Before joining ASU in 2007, Meldrum had been on the faculty of the University of Washington in Seattle since 1992, where she founded and directed UW's Genomation Laboratory. She is a member of the National Advisory Council for Human Genome Research, which advises the Department of Health and Human Services, the National Institutes of Health and the National Human Genome Research Institute.
