About Howard Grimes
Howard Grimes is dean of the Graduate School, professor in the School of Molecular Biosciences, and co-chair of the plant physiology program at WSU. His research is focused on the biochemistry of membrane transport proteins and the structure, function, and regulation of lipoxygenases--enzymes involved in lipid metabolism and in the generation of a wide array of signaling molecules.
Dr. Grimes is a member of the training faculty for an interdisciplinary program in protein chemistry funded by the National Institutes of Health and maintains an active, funded laboratory at WSU Pullman. His current research is aimed at genomic and metabolomic probing of the nutrient mobilization pathways in plants and discovery of new drugs for lipoxygenase inhibition and treatment of inflammation-related diseases.
