Christine Jacobs

Christine Jacobs-Wagner is an American microbial molecular biologist. She is the Dennis Cunningham Professor of Biology and Microbiology and Immunology at Stanford University. Jacobs-Wagner's research has shown that bacterial cells have a great deal of substructure, including analogs of microfilaments, and that proteins are directed by regulatory processes to locate to specific places within the bacterial cell. She was elected to the National Academy of Sciences in 2015 and has received a number of scientific awards.
