Caroline Attardo Genco is an American microbiologist and academic administrator. She is Arthur E. Spiller Professor in Genetics at Tufts University School of Medicine, and provost of Tufts University.

Life and career

Genco was born to Rita Galletti and Charles Attardo.[1] She completed a B.S. in biology at State University of New York at Fredonia in 1981, and then an M.S. in microbiology from the University of Rochester in 1984. She received her PhD, also at the University of Rochester, in 1987, studying Neisseria gonorrhoeae antibiotic resistance.[2]

In 1989, Genco was appointed to an assistant professor position at Emory University, before joining the faculty of Morehouse School of Medicine as an associate professor in 1991.[3] From 1997 to 2015, she served as Professor of Medicine at the Boston University School of Medicine, where she researched the link between oral bacteria and heart diseases.[4][5]

In 2015, Genco joined the Tufts University School of Medicine as the Arthur E. Spiller Professor in Genetics.[2] In 2019, she became vice provost for research.[6] She succeeded Nadine Aubry as provost and senior vice president ad interim of Tufts University on January 1, 2022, and was appointed to those positions on a permanent basis on August 1, 2023.[2][7]

Research

At Tufts, Genco's laboratory currently researches how the microbiome and innate immune system influence inflammatory diseases. One specific research area of the lab is how mucosal pathogens work to evade macrophages/monocytes and the innate immune response in general. Genco's lab has recently progressed this work from in vitro human tissue culture to in vivo mouse models, and now human cohorts.[8]

Another research focus of Genco's group is how Neisseria bacteria regulate gene transcription, with a particular focus on how environmental factors influence these pathways. Specifically, the lab has uncovered some of the mechanisms by which Fur (ferric uptake regulator), a regulatory protein, affects the virulence of bacteria.[8]
