Elizabeth Marie Nolan (born 1978) is an American chemist and associate professor at Massachusetts Institute of Technology.
[6] Nolan was a postdoctoral scientist at the Harvard Medical School, working with Christopher T. Walsh on the biosynthetic assembly of microcin E492m.
[1][7][8] She was awarded a $2.5 million National Institutes of Health grant in 2010 to study antibacterial peptides and zinc in innate immunity.
[11] They study how immunity peptides that are encoded by the gene clusters that biosynthesize antibiotics which use metal ion transporters protect the organisms that produce them.
[citation needed] She worked with Manuela Raffatellu at University of California, Irvine to develop a new immunisation strategy against salmonella.
