She is also a faculty member in the Physiology Course at the Marine Biological Laboratory in Woods Hole, MA. Waterman-Storer received a Ph.D. in cell biology from the University of Pennsylvania in 1995. She has developed fluorescence imaging techniques and analytical methods to study dynamic processes in living cells. She plans to use her Pioneer Award to apply these tools to correlate the interactions of multiple cellular components with biophysical outputs involved in cellular movement. Waterman-Storer is an associate editor of the journals Molecular Biology of the Cell and Journal of Microscopy. She was the 2002 recipient of the Women in Cell Biology Career Recognition Award from the American Society for Cell Biology.
