Biography

Colleen Noviello grew up in New York state and attended New York University for her bachelor's degree. She then completed her doctorate at the University of California, San Diego in the laboratory of Dr. John Guatelli, MD, where she explored host-mechanisms of HIV infection. This work led to post-doctoral research examining the pathogenic immune evasion response. Currently she works with Dr. Ryan Hibbs utilizing cryo-electron microscopy to study atomic level interactions of neuronal cell surface receptors. Recently Dr. Noviello developed a new branch of the Hibbs laboratory examining how an improper immune response targeting one’s own neuronal receptors can cause disease. This neuroimmunology project spans clinical collaborations, ion channel pharmacology and biophysics, and structural biology.
