Gabrielle Paniccia

Gabrielle Paniccia is a researcher at Harvard University, affiliated with the Carolyn Elya Lab. She earned her Ph.D. from The Rockefeller University in 2024, where she studied under Dr. Charles M. Rice to investigate how the gene PLSCR1 inhibits SARS-CoV-2.

• Current research focuses on genetic access to Entomophthora muscae (E. muscae) for mechanistic studies of fungal biology
• Interests include pathogen evolution, host invasion mechanisms, and host exploitation strategies

Her work bridges virology and mycology, exploring both viral and fungal pathogenesis through molecular and genetic approaches.
