Karla Satchell, (born Karla Fullner on August 9, 1975), is an American microbiologist who is currently a professor at Northwestern University Feinberg School of Medicine[1] and an elected fellow of the American Association for the Advancement of Science.[2]
Education[edit]
She earned her Ph.D at University of Washington in 1996 and conducted postdoctoral training with John Mekalanos at Harvard Medical School.[1]
Research[edit]
Her interests are bacteriology, structural biology, and immunology,[3] cytoskeleton, cellular microbiology, bacteria and diseases[4] and pathogenesis.[1] She is especially known for defining how the MARTX toxin in Vibrio cholerae is a modular protein that delivers its constituent effectors to host cells.[5]
Immunology[edit]
Satchell is head of the Center for Structural Genomics of Infectious Diseases at Northwestern. The Center, established in 2007, provides an established consortium of laboratories in North America for rapid response research related to infectious disease outbreaks. It maps and examines the genomes of disease causing agents such as viruses to establish effective treatments.[6][7]
