Sally Molloy is an Associate Professor of Genomics at the University of Maine, affiliated with the Graduate School of Biomedical Science and Engineering and the Honors College. Her career integrates teaching and bacteriophage research, with a focus on prophages in pathogenic mycobacteria.
- Colby College (1997): BA in Biology and German
- University of Maine (2007): Ph.D. in Microbiology
Dr. Molloy directs the UMaine SEA-PHAGES program, providing first-year students with hands-on bacteriophage research. Her work explores how prophages influence mycobacterial gene expression, virulence, and antibiotic resistance, particularly in species like Mycobacterium chelonae and abscessus.
Her research connects to broader fields of microbiology, genomics, and biomedical science, with specific applications in antibiotic resistance mechanisms and viral-host interactions. While no formal awards are listed, her leadership in undergraduate research programs highlights her commitment to education.
Dr. Molloy mentors both undergraduate and graduate students, fostering early-career research experiences. Her work bridges academic research with practical training, emphasizing the role of bacteriophages in bacterial pathogenesis.
