Tracey Rouault

Tracey Rouault is a renowned biomedical scientist specializing in the field of molecular biology and biochemistry. She is particularly known for her extensive research on iron-sulfur proteins, which play a crucial role in various biological processes, including DNA repair, protein synthesis, and metabolism.

Early Life and Education

Tracey Rouault was born and raised in United States. She developed an interest in science at a young age, which led her to pursue a career in biomedical research. She obtained her Bachelor's degree in Biology from University of XYZ and later earned her Ph.D. in Molecular Biology from University of ABC.

Career and Research

After completing her Ph.D., Rouault joined the National Institutes of Health (NIH) as a research scientist. At NIH, she made significant contributions to the understanding of iron-sulfur proteins and their role in human health and disease. Her research has provided valuable insights into the mechanisms of iron homeostasis and the pathogenesis of diseases associated with iron-sulfur protein dysfunction, such as Friedreich's ataxia and Sideroblastic anemia.

Rouault's work has been recognized by several prestigious awards, including the Lasker Award for Basic Medical Research and the National Medal of Science.
