Dr. Roger C. Prince

Dr. Prince will give a brief presentation on following oil biodegradation
in the lab and in the field.
Dr.
Prince, Senior Research Associate with ExxonMobil
Biomedical Sciences Inc. in Annandale, New Jersey, is an
internationally recognized leader in the fields of
bioenergetics, bioinorganic chemistry, and oil spill
research. He was Exxon’s lead scientist in the
monitoring of the successful bioremediation of the Exxon
Valdez spill, which demonstrated that bioremediation is
a safe and effective way to clean up the spilled oil,
and he has subsequently been involved with fieldwork on
experimental spills in the Arctic. Dr. Prince has also
investigated the role of metals and iron/sulfur clusters
in photosystems and respiratory enzymes. He is
currently assessing various biofuel options for
transportation fuels, especially algal biofuels, in
ExxonMobil’s alliance with Synthetic Genomics, Inc.
Prior to joining ExxonMobil, Dr. Prince was a visiting
faculty member at the University of California in
Berkeley and was on the faculty of the University of
Pennsylvania. He serves on the Editorial Board of the
Bioremediation Journal and the Editorial Advisory Board
of Environmental Science and Technology. He has
published more than 300 papers and chapters in the
refereed literature, and was awarded Stanford’s Farrel
W. Lytle Prize for Contributions to Synchrotron
Spectroscopy in 2000 and the North Jersey ACS North
Jersey Chapter’s Lifetime Achievement Award in 2007. In
addition, Dr. Prince has served on a number of
Government and International Workshops and Panels,
including the National Research Council Panel on Marine
Biotechnology. Please join TSS in congratulating Dr.
Prince on this well-deserved honor.
