Rate My Professor Deborah Anderson

Anderson's prolific publication record features seminal papers on bacterial secretion systems and plague pathogenesis, including 'A mRNA signal for the type III secretion of Yop proteins by Yersinia enterocolitica' (Science, 1997), 'Pseudomonas syringae Hrp type III secretion system and effector proteins' (Proceedings of the National Academy of Sciences, 2000), 'Two independent type III secretion mechanisms for YopE in Yersinia enterocolitica' (Molecular Microbiology, 1997), 'Toll-like receptor 6 drives differentiation of tolerogenic dendritic cells and contributes to LcrV-mediated plague pathogenesis' (Cell Host & Microbe, 2008), 'Absence of inflammation and pneumonia reveal new role for the pigmentation locus during Yersinia pestis infections' (Infection and Immunity, 2010), and 'Chemokine Receptor CXCR2 Mediates Bacterial Clearance Rather than Neutrophil Recruitment in a Murine Model of Pneumonic Plague' (American Journal of Pathology, 2011). Her work has garnered over 3,662 citations on Google Scholar. In education, she co-instructs graduate courses M7404 Bacterial Pathogenesis and M9001 Structure and Synthesis of Macromolecules. Anderson holds editorial roles as Section Editor for Bacterial Pathogens in Pathogens (MDPI) and guest editor for special issues on Yersinia pestis pathogenicity, virulence factors, and host adaptation. She is a member of the Molecular Microbiology and Immunology graduate program faculty and the American Society for Rickettsiology.
