Christopher Colbert

Christopher Colbert is a Professor in the Department of Chemistry and Biochemistry at North Dakota State University. His research focuses on the molecular mechanisms of metal trafficking in bacteria, particularly iron import and utilization processes critical for cellular survival and pathogenesis.

• Research Areas: Structural Biology, Metal Trafficking, Bacterial Pathogenesis, Protein Structure and Function
• Techniques: X-ray crystallography, NMR spectroscopy, protein chromatography, mutagenesis
• Labs: Colbert Laboratory

This work has implications for developing therapeutics against antibiotic-resistant bacteria and understanding human diseases linked to defective metal homeostasis.
