Thomas Bartnikas, M.D., Ph.D., is an Associate Professor in the Department of Pathology and Laboratory Medicine at Brown University. He directs the MD/PhD Program and focuses his research on the role of metals in human health and disease. Bartnikas obtained his Bachelor of Arts from Cornell University and his medical and doctoral degrees from Washington University in St. Louis, specializing in Molecular Cell Biology under Dr. Jonathan Gitlin. His postdoctoral studies were conducted at Boston Children's Hospital with Drs. Nancy Andrews and Mark Fleming. Bartnikas's work has been funded by the National Institutes of Health. His laboratory, the Bartnikas lab, investigates the molecular, biochemical, and genetic mechanisms underlying metal homeostasis in the human body. Specific research interests include the regulation of iron and manganese, exploring their absorption, distribution, and excretion. His past and ongoing research projects aim to identify regulatory factors for metal homeostasis and the impact of metal imbalances on human health, especially in conditions like Cooley's anemia and SLC30A10 deficiency. Bartnikas is affiliated with numerous professional organizations, including the International BioIron Society and the American Society of Hematology, and he teaches courses on molecular mechanisms of disease.
