2020 - Fellow of the American Association for the Advancement of Science (AAAS)

Overview

Charles F. Delwiche is affiliated with the University of Maryland, College Park in the United States. Their research primarily focuses on areas within biochemistry, genetics, molecular biology, and earth and planetary sciences. Major subfields of study include molecular biology, oceanography, ecology, renewable energy, sustainability and the environment, and ecology, evolution, behavior and systematics.

The scientist has contributed extensively to multiple main topics of work such as marine and coastal plant biology, microbial community ecology and physiology, protist diversity and phylogeny, genomics and phylogenetic studies, algal biology and biofuel production, diatoms and algae research, as well as photosynthetic processes and mechanisms.

Notable recent publications include:

Neoproterozoic origin and multiple transitions to macroscopic growth in green seaweeds (2020, Proceedings of the National Academy of Sciences)
A phylogenomically informed five-order system for the closest relatives of land plants (2022, Current Biology)
Green land: Multiple perspectives on green algal evolution and the earliest land plants (2023, American Journal of Botany)
A genetic element in the SARS-CoV-2 genome is shared with multiple insect species (2021, Journal of General Virology)
Using RDNA sequences to define dinoflagellate species (2022, PLoS ONE)

Frequent collaborators include Jan de Vries, Iker Irisarri, Sophie de Vries, Tatyana Darienko, and Henrik Buschmann.

The scientist often publishes in venues such as:

Current Biology
Journal of Phycology
bioRxiv (Cold Spring Harbor Laboratory)
Zenodo (CERN European Organization for Nuclear Research)
Proceedings of the National Academy of Sciences

Charles F. Delwiche was recognized as a Fellow of the American Association for the Advancement of Science (AAAS) in 2020.
