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 Franck CHARMANTRAY is a researcher in Biocatalysis at the CNRS. He carries out his research work at the Institute of Chemistry in Clermont-Ferrand (ICCF, UMR6296, Clermont Auvergne University, France). In 2001, he obtained a PhD in medicinal chemistry focusing on « A new family of DNA intercalating-alkylating agents » under the supervision of Dr. M. Demuynck, Grenoble 1 University, France. He then changed his research theme to focus on Studies on Homocitrate Synthase and other Lysine Pathway Enzymes during a postdoctoral internship funded by a BBRSC Fellowship, and carried out under the supervision of Prof. D. Young, at the University of Sussex, Brighton, UK. He returned to France to carry out a 2-year industrial postdoctoral internship in Biocatalysis financed by Laboratoires Fournier and which focused on the chemoenzymatic synthesis of antithrombotics. He was then recruited at the ICCF as a CNRS researcher in 2004. His research themes concern Biocatalysis, and in particular the study and optimization of transketolase by in vitro evolution for the synthesis of rare sugars and analogues in particular. He works in close collaboration with Dr. Bastien Doumèche with whom he recently developed an electrochemical screening for microbial transketolase inhibitors identification. Claude Bernard Lyon 1 and ICBMS (Institut de Chimie et Biochimie Moléculaires et Supramoléculaires, UMR 5246 CNRS, France). After biochemistry and biology studies in Rouen (France), he obtained a master degree in Amiens on a biocatalysis topic, followed by a PhD at the RWTH-Aachen university (Germany) working on immobilized enzymes in two-phase systems under Prof. W. Hartemeier supervision. He joined the group of Dr. Rolland Furstoss and Dr. Alain Archelas at the CNRS in Marseille (France) for a post-doc on multi-gram scale biocatalysis using epoxide hydrolases. After a two-years temporary associate professor position at the university of Cergy-Pontoise (France) with Prof. Véronique Larreta-Garde on sol-gel transitions of protein-polysaccharides mixtures catalysed by enzymes, he became a lecturer at the University Lyon 1in 2006 where he developed original research in heterogeneous biocatalysis (ionic liquids) and more recently electrochemical screening assays using screen-printed electrodes for oxidoreductases (dehydrogenases, oxidases, laccases) and transketolases in collaboration with Dr. Franck Charmantray.
