Dr. Garrett earned a B.S. degree in biochemistry from Florida State University and a Ph.D. in biochemistry from Duke University. Her post-doctoral work at Duke University included participation in the NIH-funded, large-scale collaborative LIPID MAPS (lipidmaps.org). Her research involves the biochemistry, structure and biosynthesis of lipids in gram-negative bacteria such as Escherichia coli. Currently she is investigating how E. coli make two minor lipids, N-acylphosphatidylethanolamine and phosphatidylserylglutamate. Student researchers are welcome and will learn to grow and manipulate E. coli and other gram-negative bacteria, extract and purify lipids from cells, analyze lipids with mass spectrometry and probe for new enzyme activities. |
