Kate Carroll (born 1974) is an American professor of chemistry, chemical biology, and biochemistry at

Scripps Research in Jupiter, FL, since 2010. She was previously a tenure-track assistant professor at the University of Michigan.[1]

Education

Carroll received a BA in Chemistry from

Carolyn R. Bertozzi
in 2006.

Research

Carroll has developed protein cysteine oxidation as a new paradigm for the regulation of cell signaling pathways. Her group has also examined sulfa- and thioreductase activity in Mycobacterium as potential drug targets to treat diseases like tuberculosis. Carroll incorporates tools such as proteomic labeling and chemical probes to decipher how oxidation of target cysteines in proteins by reactive oxygen species (ROS) leads to downstream changes in cell cycle regulation.[3]

Volunteer service

Carroll served as the Vice-Chair for the 2018 Gordon Research Conference in Thiol-Based Redox Regulation and Signaling. She will serve as the Chair in 2020.

She serves as an Editorial board member to scientific journals including

Molecular Biosystems, and Cell Chemical Biology
.
