Erin Green

About

Erin Green, PhD, is an Assistant Professor of Microbiology and Medicine at the University of Chicago. Her research focuses on bacterial pathogenesis, bacterial signal transduction, gene regulation, and proteostasis. She is particularly interested in understanding how bacterial pathogens sense and adapt to long-term desiccation stress, as well as the regulatory mechanisms involved in transitioning between environmental reservoirs and mammalian hosts. Her work emphasizes the emerging multidrug resistant pathogen, Acinetobacter baumannii, exploring mechanisms of protein turnover via regulated proteolysis by AAA+ family proteases. Dr. Green's background includes postdoctoral fellowships at Vanderbilt University and Tufts University, where she completed her PhD at the University of Pittsburgh. Her contributions include investigating bacterial mechanisms for desiccation tolerance, zinc homeostasis, cell wall biogenesis, and antibiotic tolerance, with a focus on pathogens such as Staphylococcus aureus, Pseudomonas aeruginosa, and Acinetobacter baumannii.

  The 1000 Genomes Project set out to provide a comprehensive description of common human genetic variation by applying whole-genome sequencing to a diverse set of individuals from multiple populations. Here we report completion of the project, having reconstructed the genomes of 2,504 individuals from 26 populations using a combination of low-coverage whole-genome sequencing, deep exome sequencing, and dense microarray genotyping. We characterized a broad spectrum of genetic variation, in total o…
