Professor Dr. Daniel Amador Noguez

Biography

Daniel Amador-Noguez is an Associate Professor in the Department of Bacteriology at the University of Wisconsin-Madison. His research interests focus on metabolic regulation, particularly in biofuel-producing bacteria and the human gut microbiome. His work aims to develop engineered microorganisms capable of efficient conversion of cellulosic biomass into biofuels. Amador-Noguez's lab investigates metabolic pathways essential for biofilm formation and development in bacteria, exploring how these processes impact human health and the production of renewable energy. His research employs systems-level analyses, such as metabolomics and computational modeling, to advance understanding of metabolic regulation and the physiological relevance of metabolic alterations during bacterial growth and development. He received his B.S. in Chemistry from Monterrey Institute of Technology in 2001 and a Ph.D. in Molecular Genetics from Baylor College of Medicine in 2007, followed by a postdoctoral research at the Lewis-Sigler Institute for Integrative Genomics at Princeton University. Amador-Noguez has published extensively in peer-reviewed journals, contributing to the understanding of microbial metabolism, bioprocessing, and environmental microbiology.
