Kate Carroll (born 1974) is an American professor of chemistry, chemical biology, and biochemistry at Florida Atlantic University.
She was previously a tenure-track assistant professor at the University of Michigan[1] and was a Professor at Scripps Research in Jupiter, FL from 2010 - 2024 Carroll received a BA in Chemistry from Mills College in 1996 and her PhD in Chemistry from Stanford University in 2003, studying with Suzanne Pfeffer.
Her group has also examined sulfa- and thioreductase activity in Mycobacterium as potential drug targets to treat diseases like tuberculosis.
Carroll incorporates tools such as proteomic labeling and chemical probes to decipher how oxidation of target cysteines in proteins by reactive oxygen species (ROS) leads to downstream changes in cell cycle regulation.
[3] Carroll served as the Vice-Chair for the 2018 Gordon Research Conference in Thiol-Based Redox Regulation and Signaling.
