Brief Introduction of Professor David W. Christianson

Professor David W. Christianson received the AB, AM, and PhD from Harvard University before moving to the University of Pennsylvania, where he has been a member of the faculty for 28 years. His current research focuses on structural and function of metal-dependent arginases, deacetylases, and enzymes of terpenoid biosynthesis. At present, he had published series of papers in top professional journals suchas Science,Nature, Nature Structural & Molecular Biology, JACS, PNAS, Nature Communication.

His accomplishments have been recognized by numerous awards, including the Pfizer Award in Enzyme Chemistry and the Repligen Award in Chemistry of Biological Processes from the American Chemical Society, and Fellowships from the John Simon Guggenheim Memorial Foundation, the Radcliffe Institute for Advanced Study at Harvard University, and the visiting Professor of Chemistry and Chemical Biology of Harvard University.
