Biography

Amit R. Reddi is a professor in the School of Chemistry and Biochemistry at the Georgia Institute of Technology. His research centers on metalloproteins, which are a significant class of proteins in the proteome involved in numerous metabolic signaling pathways that are crucial for human health and disease. The Reddi laboratory focuses on understanding the cellular, molecular, and chemical mechanisms through which metalloproteins are activated in cells and how these activated proteins communicate with biomolecules to promote normal metabolism and physiology. Their work emphasizes systems that are relevant to cancer, neurodegenerative disorders, and infectious diseases. Current projects in the lab are particularly centered on elucidating heme trafficking pathways and the role of Cu/Zn Superoxide Dismutase (SOD1) in redox signaling. Reddi offers prospective students broad training across several disciplines including modern biochemistry, bioinorganic chemistry, biophysics, chemical biology, molecular genetics, and cell biology.
