Histone Deacetylases in Neurodegenerative Disease Part B

After completing studies for the A.B., A.M., and Ph.D. degrees in chemistry at Harvard University, David W. Christianson joined the faculty of the University of Pennsylvania, where he is currently the Roy and Diana Vagelos Professor in Chemistry and Chemical Biology. At Penn, Christianson’s research focuses on the structural and chemical biology of the zinc-dependent histone deacetylases as well as enzymes of terpene biosynthesis. His research accomplishments have been recognized by several awards, including the Pfizer Award in Enzyme Chemistry and the Repligen Award in Chemistry of Biological Processes from the American Chemical Society, a Guggenheim Fellowship, and the Elizabeth S. and Richard M. Cashin Fellowship from the Radcliffe Institute for Advanced Study at Harvard University. Christianson is also a dedicated classroom teacher, and his accomplishments in this regard have been recognized by the Lindback Award for Distinguished Teaching at Penn and a Rhodes Trust Inspirational Educator Award from Oxford University. Christianson has also held visiting professorships in the Department of Biochemistry at Cambridge University and the Department of Chemistry and Chemical Biology at Harvard University. Christianson has served with Prof. Anna Pyle as Co-Editor-in-Chief of Methods in Enzymology since 2015.Dr. Karen N. Allen works at the Department of Chemistry of the Boston University, the Metcalf Center for Science and Engineering Subashchandrabose Chinnathambi is Additional Professor at the Department of Neurochemistry, National Institute of Mental Health and Neurosciences Hospital Bangalore, Karnataka, India. His scientific interests include physiopathology of neurodegenerative disorders, Tau Cytoskeleton, Tau-GPCR, purinergic and chemokine receptors, Tau stem cells, animal models, neuropharmacology, therapeutic approaches targeting Tau oligomers, and biomarkers for neurodegeneration. He serves on the editorial board for various international cell biology journals and is also a regular invited speaker at a number of meetings and workshops. Dr. Chinnathambi has more than 16 years of research experience in the area of neuroscience and Tau-related research in Alzheimer’s Disease.
