Career

He continued his studies into protozoa, silkworms and flagellates, and received his Ph.D in zoology in 1939.^[1] After his graduation, he worked in the lab of Andre Lwoff at the Pasteur Institute in Paris and developed a deep interest in algae. In 1942, he was appointed Professor at the University of Camerino.^[2]

Provasoli emigrated to the U.S. with his American wife after the outbreak of WWII. He was hired as an instructor at St. Francis College.^[2] By 1948, he was appointed Professor and Chairman of Biology.^[1] In 1951, Provasoli began collaborating with Seymour Hutner of Brooklyn College and Caryl Haskins of Haskins Laboratories in Manhattan.^[2]

In the 1960s, he served thrice on the President's Science Advisory Committee. He was president of the Phycological Society of America in 1961.^[3]

In 1970, Provasoli moved with Haskins to New Haven, Connecticut and began to research at Yale University's Osborn Memorial Laboratories. He remained with Haskins until 1981.^[1] He also taught at Yale from 1970 until his retirement in 1987.^[3]

Provasoli served on the boards of the American Institute of Biological Science and the American Type Culture Collection, and also was an adviser to the National Science Foundation and Smithsonian Institution. Provasoli was the founding editor of the Journal of Phycology. Over the course of his career, he published over 80 works.^[3]
