Jocelyn Malamy is an Associate Professor in the Department of Molecular Genetics and Cell Biology at the University of Chicago. Her research focuses on epithelial wound healing using the cnidarian model organism Clytia hemisphaerica. This model system allows for high-resolution visualization of healing processes, highlighting fundamental evolutionary mechanisms. Malamy's work has revealed that epithelial healing occurs significantly faster in Clytia compared to other model systems, with her current research emphasizing rapid, transcription-independent signaling pathways that govern cell interactions with the extracellular matrix during wound closure. With educational roots from Tufts University, where she received her Bachelor's degree in Biology, Malamy later earned her Ph.D. in Microbiology at Rutgers University and completed a Postdoctoral Fellowship in Plant Biology at New York University. Her extensive background and training contribute to significant insights in her field, linking ancient evolutionary origins to modern biological processes.
