Fadi Bou-Abdallah is a SUNY Distinguished Professor of Chemistry at the State University of New York (SUNY) at Potsdam, where he leads an interdisciplinary research program in bioinorganic chemistry and biophysics. He received his Ph.D. in Biophysical Chemistry from the University of Paris 7-France in 2000 and completed postdoctoral training at the University of New Hampshire, where he investigated the structure, function, and dynamics of iron-binding proteins. His research focuses on the molecular mechanisms of iron metabolism, ferritin structure–function relationships, iron–protein interactions, metalloprotein biophysics, and the role of iron in health and disease. His laboratory integrates biochemical, biophysical, spectroscopic, structural, and computational approaches to investigate fundamental questions in iron biology while providing extensive research opportunities for undergraduate students. Dr. Bou-Abdallah has authored over 70 peer-reviewed publications, serves on the editorial boards of several international journals, and has received multiple awards recognizing excellence in research, scholarship, and undergraduate mentoring. His current work explores ferritin biology and iron-dependent cellular pathways, with the goal of advancing our understanding of iron homeostasis in physiology and disease.
