Charlie Mo is an Assistant Professor in the Department of Bacteriology at the University of Wisconsin-Madison. He received his Bachelor of Arts in Biochemistry from Swarthmore College in 2010, followed by a Ph.D. in Biochemistry and Molecular Biophysics from the University of Pennsylvania in 2016. After completing a postdoctoral research fellowship at the Laboratory of Bacteriology at Rockefeller University from 2016 to 2022, he established his research lab at UW-Madison. His research is focused on the evolution of bacterial immunity, particularly through the study of horizontal gene transfer and mutagenesis, which are driving forces behind bacterial evolution and antimicrobial resistance. His lab employs experimental approaches to understand the adaptive immune systems in bacteria, such as CRISPR-Cas systems, and their effects on bacterial genetic variation. Charlie's research aims to uncover fundamental molecular mechanisms that influence bacterial adaptability under different selective pressures. He is dedicated to advancing the field of bacteriology through innovative research and education in microbial sciences.
