Bryan Gibb is an Associate Professor in the Department of Biological and Chemical Sciences at the New York Institute of Technology (NYIT), within the College of Arts and Sciences. He joined NYIT in 2015 after completing his postdoctoral research at Columbia University under Eric Greene. Gibb earned his Ph.D. from the University of Pennsylvania, studying DNA recombination enzymes with Gregory D. Van Duyne.
Education: Ph.D. in Biochemistry/Structural Biology from the University of Pennsylvania, 2010s.
Research Interests focus on molecular mechanisms of DNA-binding proteins, particularly in CRISPR pathways and bacteriophage therapy. Key areas include improving genome editing tools like CRISPR-Cas9 for gene therapy applications and developing bacteriophages as alternatives to antibiotics for treating drug-resistant infections. His lab employs single-molecule imaging techniques to study protein dynamics on DNA, such as RPA and RAD51 interactions.
Recent Research Trends highlight advancements in phage therapy, CRISPR system optimization, and DNA repair mechanisms. His work bridges fundamental molecular biology with translational applications in biotechnology and medicine.
Grants & Advising: While no grants are explicitly listed, his research projects imply funding for bacteriophage discovery and genome engineering. No advisees are listed in the provided texts.
Labs/Teams: Active in NYIT’s Biological & Chemical Sciences Department, leading projects on CRISPR systems and phage-based therapies, often involving undergraduate students in phage isolation and engineering.
