Boron joined Yale University as a postdoctoral fellow with Emile L. During this time, Boron also collaborated with Paul De Weer and John Russell. degrees in 1977 under the mentorship of Albert Roos. He studied medicine at Washington University in St. More recently, following the initial descriptions of a membrane that is impermeable to gases and a channel that is permeable to gases, Boron's group has extended its interest to understanding mechanisms of gas movement through aquaporins and Rh proteins, and the physiological significance of this movement.īoron obtained his undergraduate degree in chemistry at Saint Louis University in 1971. With his colleagues, he was the first to demonstrate cell-pH regulation, discovered and cloned several bicarbonate transporters, elucidated the sensing of molecular carbon dioxide and bicarbonate, and introduced several experimental paradigms for studying cellular acid-base physiology. From 1980-2007, he was a member of the faculty of Yale University.īoron's lifelong research interest has been acid-base homeostasis.
