معرفی
Kevin Redding is a Professor in the School of Molecular Sciences at Arizona State University (ASU). He holds a B.A. in Biochemistry from Rice University (1987) and a Ph.D. from Stanford University (1993), working with Robert Fuller. His postdoctoral training included a NSF Plant Biology fellowship with Jean-David Rochaix at the University of Geneva and a Fulbright Scholarship at the Institut de Biologie Physico-Chimique, Paris. Prior to ASU, he was at the University of Alabama (1998–2008).
His research focuses on photosynthetic reaction centers, electron transfer mechanisms, and Heliobacteria biology. Key projects include structural studies of Photosystem I, engineering electron transfer pathways, and exploring hydrogen production via photosynthetic chimeras. He received the DuPont Young Professor Award and NSF CAREER Award.
Redding’s grants include DOE-funded studies on heliobacterial reaction centers and NSF support for asymmetric evolution in photosynthesis. His lab uses CRISPR-Cas systems to manipulate Heliobacterium modesticaldum, enabling genetic deletion of key photosynthetic components.
Teaching includes biochemistry and research mentorship. Recent publications span 2025–2018, emphasizing metabolic engineering in Heliobacteria and photosynthetic hydrogen production.
