New fluorescence parameters for the determination of Q A redox state and excitation energy fluxes

Hannah Distinguished Professor in Photosynthesis and Bioenergetics. Energetics and control of photosynthesis electron and proton transfer reactions reactive oxygen generation the conversion of light energy by plants into forms usable for life understanding the processes involved at both molecular and physiological levels, how they are regulated and controlled how these processes define the energy budget of plants and the ecosystem how plants have evolved to support life in extreme environments

Among the tools used in Dr. Kramer’s lab are spectroscopic approaches including absorption, fluorescence, circular dichroism and electron spin resonance (EPR) applied to isolated membranes, organelles and intact plants. Students in the laboratory gain wide exposure to biophysical techniques and the important area of bioenergetics.

MSU-DOE Plant Research Lab - David Kramer and PhotosynQ

Dr. David M. Kramer, Michigan State University professor in the Department of Biochemistry and Molecular Biology, and Greg Austic, Photosynq Project Lead, presented, 'Open Commercialization at MSU: Photosynq, an open network of scientists and scientific tools to address big questions in food, fuel and climate,' on June 24, 2013. The special presentation was part of MSUglobal's monthly 'Fanning the Flames' series.

David Kramer: PhotosynQ

As a Hannah Distinguished Professor in photosynthesis and bioenergetics in MSU’s College of Natural Science, David Kramer values working in an environment that allows him to challenge the status quo to advance scientific discovery.
 
Michigan State University has been advancing the common good with uncommon will for more than 160 years. One of the top research universities in the world, MSU pushes the boundaries of discovery and forges enduring partnerships to solve the most pressing global challenges while providing life-changing opportunities to a diverse and inclusive academic community through more than 200 programs of study in 17 degree-granting colleges.

Disrupting the status quo

MSU professor David Kramer discusses the big picture view of PhotosynQ, collaborative photosynthesis data collection + phenotyping, and the possibilities that result from large scale collaborations and data sharing.
