| David
Gang received a Ph.D. in Plant Physiology from Washington State University
in 1999. He also has a Bachelor's degree in Botany-Molecular Biology
and a BA in German, both of which he received from Brigham Young University.
Here at the University of Arizona, he teaches plant biochemistry (PLS
620 and part of PLS 660). His research seeks to elucidate the biosynthetic
pathways that produce novel and important plant specialized metabolites
in aromatic plants, to uncover the mechanisms responsible for the
evolution of these pathways in the plant kingdom and to understand
the function of a given natural product in the biology and physiology
of a given plant species. The most productive approach in this area
has been a multidisciplinary one-which utilizes the best tools from
the fields of chemistry, biochemistry, molecular biology, plant physiology,
whole organism biology and ecology-because understanding the role
that a specific metabolite plays in the plant requires an understanding
of the whole complexity surrounding its formation and utilization.
The plants used as models in his lab include sweet basil, ginger and
turmeric. Dr. Gang has received several awards and recognition for
his work including the Arthur Neish Young Investigator Award, Phytochemical
Society of North America, 2001 and the Margaret and Herman Sokol Postdoctoral
Fellowship in the Sciences, University of Michigan, 1999. His work
has been in many publications.
