Marie Elliot McMaster

Marie Elliot is a Professor in the Department of Biology at McMaster University, Hamilton, Canada. Her research focuses on Bacteriology, Gene regulation and expression, Microbial genetics, and Soil biology.

• Ph.D. in Biological Sciences, University of Alberta (2000)
• B.Sc. in Biological Sciences, University of Alberta (1995)
• B.Sc. in Biology, College of New Caledonia (1992)

Dr. Elliot's scholarly work spans bacterial multicellular development, antibiotic production, and regulatory networks in Streptomyces species. Her research explores mechanisms like RNA-mediated regulation, chromosome topology, and inter-species interactions through volatile compounds.

Recent publications highlight trends in:

• RNA regulation of metabolism (2025, 2021)
• Streptomyces exploration and stress responses (2024, 2022, 2021)
• Non-coding RNAs and gene clusters (2023, 2022, 2019)
• Chromosome organization and transcriptional control (2020, 2019)

She teaches Microbial Genetics (MOLBIOL 3O03) and Field Biology courses (BIOLOGY 3R03, 4J03) at McMaster University.
