Education and career
editCarlson received her Bachelor of Arts degree from Harvard University. There, she spent a summer working in the laboratory of David Hubel after taking a neurobiology course and decided to become a biologist.[1] She then attended Stanford University where she received a Ph.D. working on satellite DNA in Drosophila melanogaster[2][1] under the supervision of Douglas Brutlag.[3] She then became a postdoctoral researcher at Massachusetts Institute of Technology, working in the laboratory of David Botstein, where she began to work on yeast genetics and gene regulation.[1][4]
Carlson became a faculty member at Columbia University College of Physicians & Surgeons in 1981, and was promoted to a professor of genetics and development.[5] In 2008, she took a position at the Howard Hughes Medical Institute before moving to the Simons Foundation in 2010.[5]
Carlson was elected to the Board of the Genetics Society of America in 1994 alongside Eric Lander. In 2001, she became president of the Genetics Society of America.[6]
