Margaret McFall-Ngai is an American animal physiologist and biochemist[1] best-known for her work related to the symbiotic relationship between Hawaiian bobtail squid, Euprymna scolopes and bioluminescent bacteria, Vibrio fischeri. Her research helped expand the microbiology field, primarily focused on pathogenicity and decomposition at the time, to include positive microbial associations.[2][3][4] She currently is a professor at PBRC’s Kewalo Marine Laboratory [5] and director of the Pacific Biosciences Research Program at the University of Hawaiʻi at Mānoa.[6]
