New appointments to Chem Soc Rev Advisory Board

27 Jun 2014

	Elena Fernández Professor Elena Fernández leads the Catalytic Organoborane Chemistry group at the University Rovira i Virgili in Spain. Her group’s research interests centre on the application of transition metal complexes for selective organic purposes. Professor Fernández received the National Award for Excellence of Research in Organometallic Chemistry in 2014.
	Shigehiro Yamaguchi Professor Shigehiro Yamaguchi is Principal Investigator of the Yamaguchi group at Nagoya University’s Institute of Transformative Bio-Molecules. He works on a variety of topics in the general fields of main group chemistry and physical organic chemistry.
	Itaru Hamachi Itaru Hamachi is a Professor at Kyoto University. His research interests include live-cell organic chemistry, chemical biology, bioorganic and bioinorganic chemistry, and supramolecular biomaterials. In 2014, Professor Hamachi was awarded the Nagoya Silver Medal, which is awarded every year to a ‘rising Japanese scientist whose research has had a major impact on the field of synthetic organic chemistry’.
	Dave Adams Dave Adams earned his PhD at the University of York and has since worked in both academia and industry. He joined the University of Liverpool in 2008, where his group designs novel structures and materials utilising the self-assembly of peptides, peptide-polymer conjugates and polymers.
	Laurel Schafer Laurel Schafer is a Professor at the University of British Columbia. Her group’s research bridges the areas of organometallic and organic chemistry, by preparing discrete early transition metal and lanthanide complexes for use in the atom-economic, catalytic synthesis of amines.
	Stephen Withers Professor Stephen Withers leads a group at the University of British Columbia’s Centre for High-Throughput Biology (ChiBi). Their research focuses on enzymes involved in glycoside cleavage and synthesis, with special emphasis on their mechanisms. They also utilise their findings in the development of new applications, ranging from new enzyme-based synthetic methodologies to new therapeutics and imaging agents.
	Peng Chen Professor Peng Chen’s chemical biology group at Peking University focuses on protein chemistry and engineering. Professor Chen was the recipient of the 2014 Chem Soc Rev Emerging Investigator Award, in recognition of his significant contribution to the field of chemical biology.

Peng Chen wins Chem Soc Rev Emerging Investigator Lectureship 2014

09 May 2014

On behalf of the Chem Soc Rev Editorial Board, we are delighted to announce that Professor Peng Chen from the Peking University, Beijing, China, has been chosen as the winner of the 2014 Chem Soc Rev Emerging Investigator Lectureship.

As a chemical biologist, Peng’s research aims to address fundamental questions in human health, specifically the threat of infectious diseases. Since 2009 his laboratory has focused on developing and applying novel chemistry tools to investigate protein based interactions and activities in living cells, with a focus on host-pathogen interactions.

The group’s current research projects include ‘Photo-affinity probes for studying protein-protein interactions in living cells’, ‘Visualization of organic hydroperoxides in living cells’ and ‘Protein Bioorthogonal labeling in living cells’.

Peng expressed his delight upon learning of the award, saying, “It’s a tremendous pleasure to receive this prestigious award. Being recognized by the international community means a lot to me at this early stage of my career.” He is keen to share the credit, adding, “This honour should also go to my students and co-workers, and I am deeply grateful to the Editorial Board and staff of Chem Soc Rev.”

The Emerging Investigator Lectureship is awarded each year to an emerging scientist who has made a significant contribution to their research field. Previous winners of the award include Xile Hu (2013), Xiaogang Liu (2012) and Cristina Nevado (2011). Nominations for the Emerging Investigator Lectureship 2015 will open later in the year – keep an eye on this blog.

Peng will present his Emerging Investigator lecture and receive his award at an international event sometime in the next twelve months. Further details will be announced in due course.
