Exploring the role of protein phosphorylation in plants: from signalling to metabolism in leaf cells
Steve Huber received his PhD degree in 1977 at the University of Wisconsin-Madison, in the area of C4 photosynthesis. He then joined the US Department of

Agriculture/Agricultural Research Service as a Plant Physiologist at North Carolina State University. During 1985-1986, he spent a sabbatical at Nagoya University, Nagoya, Japan, and in 2003 moved his laboratory to the University of Illinois at Urbana-Champaign. His current research concerns the biological mechanisms that control primary carbon and nitrogen metabolism in plants. The major focus of his work is sucrose metabolism and nitrate assimilation, and the control of these and other important plant processes by post-translational modifications, including reversible protein phosphorylation. He has been a member of the Biochemical Journal Editorial Board since 2004.
