Dr. Craig Roy

Biography

Craig Roy received a B.S. from Michigan State University in 1985 and earned his Ph.D. in Microbiology and Immunology from Stanford University in 1991, under the guidance of Dr. Stanley Falkow. He completed his postdoctoral fellowship in the laboratory of Dr. Ralph Isberg at the Department of Molecular Microbiology at Tufts University School of Medicine in 1996. In the same year, he was appointed as an Assistant Professor in the Department of Molecular Genetics and Microbiology at Stony Brook University. In 1998, Roy became a founding member of the Department of Microbial Pathogenesis at Yale University, where he presently serves as Vice-Chair and holds the title of Waldemar Von Zedtwitz Professor of Microbial Pathogenesis and Immunobiology. His laboratory focuses on the host-pathogen interface, employing multidisciplinary approaches to uncover novel mechanisms by which intracellular pathogens modulate host membrane transport pathways to evade cell-autonomous defenses and create organelles that permit bacterial replication.
