Education

B.A. Bethel College - Chemistry (1989)
Ph.D. University of Minnesota, Twin Cities - Biological Chemistry (1994)
Post-Doctoral University of Minnesota, Twin Cities - Biological Chemistry (1994-1995)
Post-Doctoral University of Nebraska-Lincoln - Enzyme Mechanisms (1995-1998)

The Becker research group investigates proline metabolism, redox enzymology, redox regulation of proteins and gene expression and substrate channeling in enzymes. The overall research goal is to uncover mechanisms of substrate channeling and redox metabolism that drive growth of different organisms and contribute to disease progression.
