Christine Jacobs-Wagner is a microbial molecular biologist. She is the William H. Fleming, MD Professor of Molecular , Cellular, and Developmental Biology and of Microbial Pathogenesis, HHMI investigator, and Director of the Microbial Sciences Institute at Yale Medical School. Jacobs-Wagner's research has shown that bacterial cells have a great deal of substructure including analogs of microfilaments, and that proteins are directed by regulatory processes to locate to specific places within the bacterial cell. She was elected to the National Academy of Sciences in 2015 and has received a number of scietific awards.
Early life and education
Christine Jacobs-Wagner grew up in Belgium in a town near Liege.[1] She thought of becoming a cyclist but was undecided about a career through high school.[1] Christine Jacobs-Wagner received her BS degree in biochemistry from University of Liege.[2] She also received her MS in 1991 and the PhD in 1996 from University of Liege in Belgium in the field of Biochemsitry. She then went to Stanford Medical School on a fellowship from the European molecular Biology Organization. There she studied Caulobacter, a bacterium with a flagellum on one end and a stalk on the other end, beginning her fascination with how bacterial cells can become asymmetrical.[1] From 2004 to 2013, she did research in Newcastle upon Tyne in the United Kingdom.[3] [2]
Academic career
Jacobs-Wagner currently holds an endowed chair in the Yale Medical School and is the director of the Microbial Institute.[1][3]
Research
Christine Jacobs-Wagner's major breakthrough has been the discovery that the tiny cells of bacterial are not simply bags of biochemicals but instead program the locations protein components via their regulatory systems.[1] She also discovered crescentin which forms bacterial intermediate filaments, structures once thought to occur only in eukaryotic cells.[1]
