About Jean Patterson. Dr. Patterson received her PhD from University of Notre Dame, Indiana (1979), and postdoctoral training from University of Wisconsin (1979–81) and University of Geneva, Switzerland (1981–4). In 1984 she moved to Harvard Medical School, where she was Assistant Professor (1986–91) then Associate Professor (1991–6) of Microbiology and Molecular Genetics. Dr. Patterson moved to San Antonio, Texas, where she holds the positions of E.M. Stevens Chair for Biomedical Research and Adjunct Professor at the Department of Microbiology, The University of Texas Health Science Center at San Antonio (since 1996). Recently she became the Chair of Biosafety level-4 Task Force at the Department of Virology and Immunology, Texas Biomedical Research Institute. Dr. Patterson has co-authored >100 scientific articles and book chapters, mostly on the biology and development of vaccines for hemorrhagic fever viruses (Ebola, Marburg and Lassa viruses), the anthrax bacterium Bacillus anthracis and the protozoan parazite Leishmania. Her research thus requires the highest biosafety work conditions. Dr. Patterson has been a member of numerous biodefense and biosafety committees, including Northeast Biodefense Center External Evaluation Committee (2010–2), American Society for Microbiology Biodefense Program Committee (since 2008, Chair in 2012–4) and National Scientific Advisory Board for Biosecurity (since 2014). She was an Advisor to the US. Senate Weapons of Mass Destruction Commission (2009–11), and a member of the NIH Center of Biomedical Research Excellence (2000–2) and the NIH Blue Ribbon Panel (2008–12).
