معرفی
Fevzi Daldal is a Professor of Biology at the University of Pennsylvania's School of Arts & Sciences, affiliated with the College of Arts & Sciences and the Cell and Molecular Biology Graduate Group. His research focuses on photosynthetic and respiratory electron transfer pathways, particularly the structure, function, and biogenesis of membrane cytochrome complexes in Rhodobacter capsulatus. He holds memberships in the Turkish Academy of Science and fellowships from the American Academy of Microbiology and AAAS.
Education:
- Ph.D., University of Strasbourg (France)
- Post-doctoral work at Harvard Medical School
- Research at Cold Spring Harbor Laboratory
Research Interests:
- Electron transfer mechanisms in photosynthesis and respiration
- Cytochrome bc1 complex and cbb3 oxidase structure/function
- Cofactor maturation (heme/copper)
- Copper trafficking and delivery to cuproenzymes
- Membrane supercomplex assembly
Recent Work: Recent studies include cryo-EM structural analysis of bc1-cbb3 supercomplexes, copper sensing mechanisms, and the role of CcoA transporters in metal homeostasis. Findings highlight cytochrome assembly pathways and their impact on cellular energy production.
