Kenton Rodgers

Kenton Rodgers is a Professor in the Department of Chemistry and Biochemistry at North Dakota State University. His research investigates the roles of transition metal ions in biological systems, with a focus on CO, NO, and O₂ sensing mechanisms, heme transport in bacterial pathogens, and metal-dependent proteolysis.

• PhD, University of Iowa
• Postdoctoral Research, Princeton University

His group employs a multidisciplinary approach combining:

• Chemical synthesis and kinetic studies
• Advanced spectroscopic techniques (resonance Raman, UV-visible, CD, NMR, EPR, crystallography)
• Density functional theory and molecular mechanics computations

Professor Rodgers teaches CHEM 150: Principles of Chemistry I and CHEM 725: Advanced Survey of Inorganic Chemistry. Contact: Office Sugihara 316 | Email: kent.rodgers@ndsu.edu | Phone: 701-231-8746
