Research

Hooker manages applied plant and fungal molecular biology research projects, including development of plant-based biosensors and transgenic production systems for human pharmaceutical proteins and industrial enzymes at the Pacific Northwest National Laboratory, where systems biology researchers are focused on understanding gene and protein networks involved in individual cell signaling, communication between cells in communities, and cellular metabolic pathways. Hooker has also been involved in research on microbial kinetics and transport mathematical modeling, design, development, and support for biological destruction of chlorinated organic hydrocarbons, development of tP4 transgenic plant protein production platform technology, and development of the RT3D bioremediation/natural attenuation software package.

19th Century Poet and Librettist Brian Hooker

Brian Hooker was also the name of an American poet-lyricist-librettist who lived from 1880 until 1946. He is most famous for co-writing the libretto and lyrics for Rudolf Friml's 1925 operetta The Vagabond King, and is especially noted for writing the 1923 English translation of Edmond Rostand's Cyrano de Bergerac (play), which was especially prepared for actor Walter Hampden. It was highly acclaimed as being one of the finest translations of a play in verse into English, and for many years, until Anthony Burgess published his own translation, was virtually the only English rendition of the play used. Rudolf Friml (December 7, 1879 - November 12, 1972) was a composer of operettas, musicals, songs, as well as a pianist. ...
