There's always a few cool flavin-containing enzymes under investigation in Dave's Den of Dioxygenases and Delectable Deli. Come see what's new at the Ballou lab homepage . When he's not using his stop flow instruments, Dave likes to work out or practice vintage dancing with his wife, Jean, ski, race sailboats, ride his mountain bike like a maniac, play softball, or hang out with Jean. It has been claimed that his name forms the root of the word hullaballou. Alexander J. Ninfa is an associate professor in the Department of Biological Chemistry at the University of Michigan, and is widely recognised for his work on the biochemical mechanisms of signal transduction and transcriptional regulation in bacteria. He is especially interested in the regulation of bifunctional signal-transducing enzymes and cyclic cascade systems. On any given day, there's usually genetic, physiology, molecular biology, and enzymology experiments all going on simultaneously in the Ninfa lab. Come see what's new at the Ninfa Lab homepage . When he's not thinking about E. coli, Alex likes to play blues guitar, do the Detroit scene or hang out with his wife, Kathleen, play chess, or spend quality time with his dog and cat
