Milton Saier is a Professor in the Department of Research at the University of California, San Diego. He received his Ph.D. from UC Berkeley and completed his postdoctoral fellowship at Johns Hopkins University before moving to UCSD as an assistant professor. His laboratory focuses on three main research interests: transcriptional metabolic regulation in bacteria, the evolution of transport proteins, and the process of transposon-mediated directed mutation. His work on the Transporter Classification Database (TCDB) continues to categorize transport systems found in living organisms. Saier's research employs a multidisciplinary approach, using biochemical, molecular genetic, physiological, and computational methods. He has identified mechanisms of catabolite repression and activation and studied protein interactions within metabolic pathways in Escherichia coli and Bacillus subtilis. His research has contributed to the understanding of the evolutionary mechanisms and transcriptional control in bacterial systems.
