Susan Gottesman is a microbiologist at the National Cancer Institute (NCI), which is part of the National Institutes of Health.[1] Gottesman has been the editor of the Annual Review of Microbiology since 2008.[2]
She is a pioneer in the area of biological regulation in which enzymes that destroy specific other proteins, called proteases, play a central role inside the cell. She discovered and elucidated the central features of a new family of proteases that require energy for their function in the form of ATP-hydrolysis.[3][4] She has also played a major role in the discovery and characterization of bacterial small RNAs.[5]
