Regular biography
Camilla Godlee is a Fellow at the University of Cambridge, affiliated with the School of Biological Sciences. She is an Assistant Professor in the Department of Biochemistry and the Department of Pathology. Her research focuses on host-pathogen interactions, membrane trafficking, membrane integration, and bacterial pathogenesis. She investigates how bacterial virulence proteins interact with eukaryotic membranes during infection to enable disease. Her work employs techniques such as fluorescence microscopy, flow cytometry, and cellular infection models. Research themes include membrane biophysics, membrane protein structural biology, and single molecule imaging.
Scholar-generated biography
Camilla Godlee is a Cell Biologist at the University of Cambridge, specializing in the molecular mechanisms of endocytosis and host-pathogen interactions. Her research explores the dynamics of clathrin-mediated endocytosis, focusing on the initiation processes and the role of proteins such as Ede1 in organizing endocytic events. She also investigates how bacterial effectors, like SteD from Salmonella, manipulate host cell machinery to disrupt immune responses, particularly through the degradation of MHC class II molecules. Her work integrates single-cell analysis and CRISPR screening to uncover host factors critical for bacterial pathogenesis. Godlee's research bridges cell biology and microbiology, shedding light on the molecular interplay between pathogens and their hosts.
