Giovanni Gadda

Giovanni Gadda is a Professor of Chemistry at Georgia State University's College of Arts and Sciences. His research focuses on mechanistic enzymology of redox enzymes, particularly flavin-dependent systems like nitronate monooxygenases, D-arginine dehydrogenases, and choline oxidases. His lab employs kinetics, mutagenesis, crystallography, and computational methods to study enzymatic reaction mechanisms.

Dr. Gadda has received honors including the GSU Outstanding Faculty Achievement Award and NSF CAREER grant. He chairs editorial boards for Archives of Biochemistry and Biophysics and organized multiple enzyme conferences. His work explores catalytic intermediates in enzymes from pathogens like Pseudomonas aeruginosa.
