معرفی
Dr. Kristene Surerus is an Associate Professor Emerita in the Department of Chemistry & Biochemistry at the University of Wisconsin-Milwaukee. She holds a PhD from the University of Minnesota and is affiliated with the College of Letters & Science. Her research focuses on the chemistry of iron in biological systems, particularly iron-sulfur proteins and microbial bioremediation processes.
Her research employs techniques such as Mössbauer, EPR, and NMR spectroscopies to study iron's roles in catalysis, electron transfer, and structural functions. Key areas include iron-sulfur cluster assembly and degradation mechanisms, and the use of organisms like Shewanella oneidensis in anaerobic bioremediation.
Dr. Surerus has published extensively on iron-sulfur cluster biosynthesis and microbial iron utilization. Her work bridges bioinorganic chemistry with environmental applications, aiming to understand fundamental biological processes and their practical implications.
While no specific grants or awards are highlighted, her contributions to the field reflect sustained academic engagement. She has advised students in biochemical research but no explicit student names are listed in the provided materials.
