Carla Green is a Professor in the Department of Neuroscience at UT Southwestern, where she has worked since 2009. Prior appointments include Associate Professor and Assistant Professor at the University of Virginia (2003-2009) and roles at the University of Kansas Medical Center (1986-1997), including a postdoctoral fellowship and Research Assistant Professor position. Her academic journey spans over 35 years of circadian biology research.
- 2009–present: Professor, Department of Neuroscience, UT Southwestern
- 2003–2009: Associate Professor, Department of Biology, University of Virginia
- 1997–2003: Assistant Professor, Department of Biology, University of Virginia
- 1996–1997: Research Assistant Professor, Department of Anatomy & Cell Biology, University of Kansas Medical Center
- 1986–1991: Graduate Student, Department of Biochemistry and Molecular Biology, University of Kansas Medical Center
Dr. Green’s research focuses on circadian clock mechanisms, posttranscriptional regulation, and their metabolic implications. Key areas include:
- RNA deadenylation by Nocturnin
- CLOCK:BMAL1 complex dynamics
- Cryptochrome structure-function relationships
- Time-dependent lipid and glucose metabolism
- Circadian-metabolic disease links
- Evolutionary clock conservation
Her publications reveal a thematic progression from characterizing circadian proteins (1996-2007) to mechanistic studies on metabolic integration (2008-2012), followed by translational work on aging (2017-present). Articles span interdisciplinary journals including Science, Cell, and PNAS.
