Daniel Bond

Daniel Bond is a Professor of Microbiology in the Department of Plant and Microbial Biology at the University of Minnesota. After studying anaerobic fungi for his MS at the Ohio State University, and rumen bacteria for his PhD at Cornell University, he worked as a postdoctoral scientist at the University of Massachusetts, where he first started building strange little reactors to collect electrons from bacteria. 

Since starting his own laboratory at the University of Minnesota in 2004, he has focused on developing new electrochemical and genetic techniques for the study of extracellular electron transfer. As these pathways have begun to come into focus, his group has expanded to include how organisms sense different external acceptors to express specific electron transfer strategies.
