Kevin Gardner is the Virginia Lazenby O’Hara Chair in Biochemistry and W.W. Caruth Jr. Scholar in Biomedical Research at the UT Southwestern Medical Center in Dallas. Dr. Gardner joined the UT Southwestern faculty in 1998 after B.S. (UC Davis, 1989), Ph.D. (Yale, 1995) and postdoctoral (Univ. Toronto with Lewis Kay, 1998) studies in biophysics and biochemistry. His research group integrates structural, dynamic and kinetic information from solution NMR studies with other biophysical and biochemical data to probe the signaling mechanisms of environmental sensory proteins. This research aims to decipher how similar proteins sense different stimuli – e.g. blue light, oxygen – to control different output functions. Such studies lay the foundation for both understanding the natural regulation of these systems and artificially controlling them.
