Elizabeth Campbell
Corinne P. Greenberg Women and Science Professor
She/Her/Hers
Also known as "Queen E"—our best social justice advocate! Most likely to make our hearts race... through her exercise classes.
Liz obtained her B.A. at Swarthmore College and Ph.D. from the Laboratory of Molecular Pathogenesis at Rockefeller University. She is also an elected fellow of the American Academy of Microbiology and dedicates her research efforts towards transcriptional regulation of Mycobacterium tuberculosis and visualizing SARS-CoV-2 replication-transcription complexes. In addition, she is the recipient of the 2023 Emil von Behring Prize for her work on the SARS-CoV-2 polymerase in complex with the helicase. She is also an avid advocate for social justice, diversity & inclusion, and mentorship.
Mirjana Lilic
Senior Research AssociateMost likely to save your experiments! Also the wealth of knowledge and wisdom. Mira graduated from the University of Belgrade, Faculty of Biology-Molecular Biology and Physiology, Serbia. Her interests lie in antibiotic resistance and transcriptional regulation in Mycobacteria. Josh Brewer
Postdoctoral FellowMost likely to be found wandering remote parts of the world and to be banned from Bagel Works. Josh attained his B.A. in Political Science from the Claremont Colleges, CA, before pursuing a career in the Washington D.C. beltway. After developing his interest in research science, he began training in biochemistry at Columbia University, NY, where he also began working in the protein crystallography lab of Dr. Lawrence Shapiro; studying cell adhesion molecules in Drosophila melanogaster. He is currently conducting his postdoctoral fellowship at the Rockefeller University, NY, in the lab of Dr. Seth Darst and Dr. Elizabeth Campbell. His research focuses on the structural mechanisms of Bacterial RNA-Polymerase promoter escape and the various functional and structural features of the transcription factor DNA-translocase MFD. Jimmi Hopkins
2nd Year Graduate FellowMost likely become a fashion influencer and make a debut at New York Fashion Week Jimmi, a Seattle native, earned a dual degree in molecular and cellular biology and public health-environmental health. In Jim Heath's lab, they helped develop a high-throughput targeted drug screening method for novel macrocyclic compounds for cancer and infectious diseases. Funded by the Innovators Award, the project fostered interdisciplinary collaboration to tackle high-risk biological challenges. Jimmi and their team created antimicrobial compounds that modulate the host immune system to target pathogens like K. pneumoniae, S. aureus, and SARS-CoV-2 while discovering inhibitors for cancer targets like c-Myc. Jimmi started their Ph.D in 2023, in the Campbell lab. Their research focuses on the intricate role of epigenetic modifications in the transcription process and how their dysregulation impacts cell biology in mycobacteria. Their work aims to uncover critical insights into how epigenetic shifts can alter fundamental biological mechanisms. Outside the lab, Jimmi is a true explorer. They spend their free time hopping between cafes, photographing life, hiking, fishing, and experimenting with new recipes in the kitchen. If they're not working, you'll likely find them wandering New York City, discovering its hidden gems and soaking in the vibrant atmosphere that makes the city unique. Maddie Delbeau
5thYear Graduate FellowMost likely to start a cat cafe. One half of the double-trouble duo. Maddie attended the University of Richmond for undergraduate studies, where she majored in Biochemistry and Molecular Biology and minored in Leadership Studies. Her current research focus is on transcriptional regulation in Mycobacterium tuberculosis. Bob Landick
Guest InvestigatorMost likely to get recruited by the NBA. |
