As a Miller Fellow at UC Berkeley, Dr. Gardner worked in Dr. Andreas Martin’s lab investigating the role of AAA-ATPase motor proteins in peroxisome biogenesis. She joined the MCDB faculty at UC Santa Barbara in 2019.
In the Gardner Lab, we focus on how the cell has solved these challenges for a metabolic organelle, the peroxisome. Using biochemistry, cell biology, and genetics, our ultimate goal is to understand how the cell uses approximately 35 dedicated Pex proteins to make a peroxisome de novo.
Brooke Gardner. Assistant Professor, MCDB. brooke.gardner@lifesci.ucsb.edu. 1117 Life Sciences. Biography. Dr. Gardner received her BA in Biochemistry from Middlebury College and her PhD in Biochemistry from UC San Francisco in the lab of Dr. Peter Walter.
May 27, 2021 · Of the handful of such organelles in the eukaryotic cell, one in particular intrigues UC Santa Barbara biochemist Brooke Gardner. It’s called the peroxisome, and it’s the Swiss army knife of membrane-bound organelles.
Dec 1, 2021 · Brooke Gardner Probes the Cell’s Peroxisomes. The University of California, Santa Barbara, cell biologist is investigating the formation and functions of the peroxisome, an organelle which exists in many copies in each cell and can be created, lost, or altered to meet the cell’s metabolic needs.
Research. The goal of the lab is to understand how the cell uses approximately 35 Pex proteins to make and maintain the peroxisome – a small, membrane-bound organelle that is conserved from yeast to humans.
