Dr. Amit Reddi

Biography

Amit Reddi is an Associate Professor in the School of Chemistry and Biochemistry at the Georgia Institute of Technology. His research focuses on metalloproteins, which represent one of the largest classes of proteins in the proteome and are involved in virtually every metabolic signaling pathway, impacting human health and disease. The Reddi laboratory investigates the cellular, molecular, and chemical mechanisms of metalloproteins, particularly how they are activated within cells to communicate with biomolecules that promote normal metabolism and physiology. The lab emphasizes systems relevant to cancer, neurodegenerative disorders, and infectious diseases. Current projects explore heme trafficking pathways and the role of Cu/Zn Superoxide Dismutase (SOD1) in redox signaling. Prospective students in his lab receive broad training across several disciplines including modern biochemistry, bioinorganic chemistry, biophysics, chemical biology, molecular genetics, and cell biology.
