Elyse Roach, PhD
Elyse completed her PhD at the University of Guelph, with Dr. Khursigara in the department of Molecular and Cellular Biology. Her project focussed on elucidating the protein-protein interactions between the bacterial cytoskeletal protein FtsZ and several stabilizing proteins, known as FtsZ associated proteins (Zaps). Following completion of her PhD, Elyse accepted a post-doctoral fellowship at Karolinska Institute (Stockholm, Sweden) with Dr. Carsten Mim, in the research group of Dr. Hans Hebert. Here she learned high-end cryo-electron microscopic techniques and computational processing of large image datasets. Elyse is currently a post-doctoral researcher in the Khursigara lab. She uses a wide variety of molecular and microscopic techniques to investigate bacterial cell processes, antibiotic susceptibility, host-cell interactions and gross morphology for several projects and collaborations in Dr. Khursigara’s lab. |
