4th Distinguished Microbiologist Lecture:
How Cyanobacteria Tell Time
Prof. Susan Golden, UCSD
On April 25th, Susan Golden will be the Distinguished Microbiologist Lecture at the annual Microbiologists of UConn Symposium. The title of her talk is "How Cyanobacteria Tell Time”. She is a member of the National Academy of Science, a fellow of the American Academy of Microbiology and an HHMI professor. Her work is on circadian rhythms of gene expression in cyanobacteria spans genetics and structural biology. She has published her work in Science and PNAS among other excellent journals, e.g. Tseng et al. 2017. Structural basis of the day-night transition in a bacterial circadian clock. Science, Diamond et al. 2017. Redox crisis underlies conditional light-dark lethality in cyanobacterial mutants that lack the circadian regulator, RpaA. Proc Natl Acad Sci U S A and Chang et al. 2015. Protein Fold Switch Joins the Circadian Oscillator to Clock Output in Cyanobacteria. Science. Here is a link to one of her podcasts:

Registration begins at 3:30 pm with coffee and cookies. At 4 pm, Dr. Golden will speak. From 5 to 6:30 pm, we will have a reception with the drinks being sponsored by Eppendorf. The event is financed through an award by the Provost, the Professional Science Master’s in Microbial Systems Analysis and the Department of Molecular and Cell Biology.
