معرفی
Carol Gross, PhD, is a Professor in the Department of Cell and Tissue Biology at the University of California San Francisco (UCSF). Her research focuses on bacterial stress responses, protein interactions in transcriptional machinery, and genome-wide gene expression control. Her lab employs genetic, biochemical, and systems biology approaches to study mechanisms underlying bacterial adaptation, particularly in E. coli and Bacillus subtilis.
Her work has advanced understanding of sigma factors, CRISPRi technology, and envelope stress responses. Key contributions include dissecting sigma factor specificity, developing CRISPR-based tools for genetic screens, and elucidating cold shock and heat shock pathways. She has collaborated extensively on projects ranging from antibiotic discovery to functional genomics databases like AusTraits.
Publications highlight her expertise in bacterial genetics, protein interactions, and systems-level analyses. Her research bridges fundamental biology with translational applications, such as identifying novel antibiotics from marine microbiota.
Dr. Gross has advised numerous collaborations but no explicitly listed advisees. She holds a PhD and has been affiliated with UCSF’s Department of Cell & Tissue Biology for decades, contributing to both academic and industry-driven research initiatives.
