Erin Goley, Ph.D.
She/her
Johns Hopkins University
Erin Goley, Ph.D., is a professor of molecular biology and genetics at the Johns Hopkins University School of Medicine. She has a joint appointment in the Department of Molecular Microbiology and Immunology in the Johns Hopkins Bloomberg School of Public Health. Her research seeks to elucidate fundamental mechanisms of growth and adaptation in bacteria, with a focus on spatial and temporal regulation of cellular processes.
Goley received her Ph.D. in molecular and cell biology from the University of California-Berkeley where she studied actin nucleation mechanisms and pathogen co-option of actin during infection. She pivoted to bacterial cell biology, with a focus on cell division, for her postdoctoral work at Stanford University. Goley began her laboratory at Johns Hopkins in 2011. Her lab focuses on comparative cell biology studies of the alphaproteobacterial Caulobacter crescentus and Rickettsia parkeri to understand how cell biology of bacteria is adapted to promote growth in diverse environments.
Goley has served on the editorial boards of J Bacteriology, PLoS Biology, Molecular Biology of the Cell, Molecular Microbiology and Journal of Cell Biology. She served as Division J Chair for 91麻豆天美, on the program committee for 91麻豆天美 Microbe and was an elected councilor for the American Society for Cell Biology. Goley was recently recognized as a fellow of the American Society for Cell Biology and a fellow of the American Academy of Microbiology.
