Professor
Genetics, Cell Biology, and Development
University of Minnesota
United States of America
Rob Brooker received his B.A. in Biology from Wittenberg University, and a Ph.D. in Genetics from Yale University. His postdoctoral work was conducted at Harvard. He is currently a Professor in the Dept. of Genetics, Cell Biology and Development and the Dept. of Biology Teaching and Learning at the University of Minnesota, Twin Cities. His research interests focus on the structure, function, and regulation of proteins that transport metals across the cell membrane. The transporters that are the main focus of his lab are H + /metal symporters that play a central role in the uptake of Fe 2+ and Mn 2+ . They study these metal symporters in bacteria, and also investigate their function and regulation in the nematode Caenorhabditis elegans.
