Anita Hargrave Corbett is an American biochemist who is the Samuel C. Dobbs Professor in the Department of Biology at Emory University.[1][2] Her research investigates the molecular basis for disease, the regulation of protein import and mRNA export. She is a Fellow of the American Association for the Advancement of Science and the American Society for Biochemistry and Molecular Biology.

Early life and education

As a high school student, Corbett took part in the National Science Bowl. She has said that her high school chemistry teacher made her believe she could be a chemist, and encouraged her to take AP Chemistry.[citation needed] She was an undergraduate student at Colgate University,[3] where she became interested in biochemistry, and studied the activation and inhibition of bovine carbonic anhydrase.[4] Corbett was a doctoral researcher at Vanderbilt University,[5] where she studied the regulation of topoisomerase II supervised by Neil Osheroff [Wikidata].[6]

Research and career

After her PhD, she moved to Harvard Medical School as a postdoctoral researcher with Pamela Silver.[7]

In 2003, Corbett was the first woman to be tenured in the

EXOSC5, to poor clinical outcomes.[10] She has extensively investigated RNA-binding proteins, which are involved with various stages of gene expression.[11]
