Biographical Information |
|
Dr. Hoyt is originally from Laramie, Wyoming where his interest in science
began with watching science fiction movies and television shows and
reading many science fiction novels.
|
|
After receiving his bachelor's degree in biochemistry from the University
of Wyoming, Dr. Hoyt attended graduate school at the University of
Nevada-Reno for his Ph.D. in biochemistry. Post graduate research
experiences were at Arizona State University in Tempe, AZ and at Rice
University in Houston, TX.
|
|
Dr. Hoyt's research interests are in microbial physiology and
biochemistry. Research topics have included study of thermal stress in
the fungi Penicillium duponti, regulation of glycolysis and Krebs
cycle by
covalent phosphorylation of various enzymes in several bacteria and
studies concerning enzymes and genes involved in antibiotic biosynthesis
in the genus Streptomyces.
|
|
Additional research experience occurred at the VA medical centers in
Tucson and Phoenix, AZ. This research was concerned with the control of
inflammation in chronic, inflammatory lung diseases such as asthma, COPD
and bronchitis, and dealt with the role of inflammatory proteins, enzymes,
and nitric oxide in the inflammatory process and use of doxycycline and
various statins as potential anti-inflammatory agents.
|
|
Dr. Hoyt enjoys watching movies, reading, and hiking and backpacking in
the desert southwest.
