Biography
Dr. Ross obtained her BSc (Hons.) in Chemistry from the University of Auckland in New Zealand before completing her Doctoral research in peptide Chemistry at the University of Alberta under the supervision of Prof. John C. Vederas. In 2012 Dr. Ross joined the lab of Prof. Bradley S. Moore at the Scripps Institution of Oceanography/University of California at San Diego as an NSERC postdoctoral fellow where she investigated the biosynthesis of peptide natural products from marine microbes. In January 2015 Dr. Ross joined the Department of Chemistry at Queen’s University as an Assistant Professor and Queen’s National Scholar in Medicinal Chemistry and Chemical Biology. Her group works to learn from nature through the discovery of bioactive natural products, the study of their biosynthesis and the unique enzymes that catalyze their construction.
