Biography and Research Information

OverviewAI-generated summary

Elizabeth E. Hood's research centers on the development and application of biosensors, particularly those utilizing recombinant enzymes produced in maize. She has investigated the use of novel recombinant manganese peroxidases from corn in glucose biosensors, focusing on enhancing sensitivity and detection methods through amperometric and voltammetric techniques. Her work also extends to the degradation of synthetic dyes using plant-produced enzymes like manganese peroxidase and laccase.

In parallel, Hood studies plant genetics and molecular biology, with a focus on maize. Her publications include work on genotype-by-environment interactions and their impact on grain yield variation, as well as the specific activity and utility of recombinant cellobiohydrolase II produced in maize endosperm. She has a publication record of 183 papers and an h-index of 36, with over 6,500 citations.

Hood collaborates with researchers at Arkansas State University, including Anahita Izadyar, My Ni Van, and Ilwoo Seok, as well as Kayleigh Amber Rodriguez at the University of Arkansas for Medical Sciences.
