معرفی
Dr. Kimberley Harcombe is an Assistant Professor and Chair of the Department of Biological Sciences at MacEwan University. She holds a PhD from the University of Alberta and a B.Sc. from the same institution. Her expertise lies in molecular biology, bacterial genetics, and microbiology, with a focus on the genetic mechanisms regulating antibiotic production and life cycle progression in Streptomyces coelicolor, a key model organism for industrial antibiotic research.
Dr. Harcombe teaches introductory cell biology and microbiology courses, as well as senior-level courses on bacterial genetics, gene regulation, genomics, and molecular lab techniques. She is actively involved in research exploring gene regulation in Streptomyces coelicolor, particularly regarding morphological differentiation and secondary metabolism.
Available to supervise senior students’ independent study, she maintains an academic profile centered on bridging research and education in microbial genetics. No specific grants, labs, or teams are explicitly detailed in the provided information.
