Peter Shepherd Chair of the Editorial Board
Peter Shepherd talks about recent developments in the Biochemical Journal. Peter Shepherd received his BSc (Hons) in Chemistry at Massey University in New Zealand in 1983, and his PhD from the same university in 1989. He then moved to the USA to carry out postdoctoral research in Professor Barbara Kahn's laboratory at Harvard Medical School working on the mechanisms involved in insulin-stimulated glucose transport. In 1992, he moved to a fellowship at Cambridge University where he worked on un...

Mike Waterfield, Ludwig Institute for Cancer Res...
The EMBO Lecture: Cracking the mild, difficult and fiendish codes within and downstream of the EGFR to link diagnostics and therapeutics.Mike Waterfield, now 64 and still sprightly, was one of the first graduates of Brunel University in London, probed the causes of porphyria at King’s College Hospital for his PhD and then entered the field of Proteomics before it was started in 1967 by triggering mass spectrometry as a tool for automated Edman Sequencing machines which he designed and built du...

Louise Johnson
Protein kinases and their therapeutic exploitationLouise Johnson read Physics at University College London (1959-1962) and moved to Molecular Biophysics for her graduate work at the Royal Institution London (1962-1965). There, under the supervision of Sir Lawrence Bragg and David Phillips, she joined a team working on the structure of lysozyme, the first enzyme structure to be solved by X-ray diffraction. Her work demonstrated how sugar molecules bound at the catalytic site and led to a struct...

Fred Goldberg
Functions of the proteasome: from protein degradation and immune surveillance to cancer therapyFred Goldberg, a Professor of Cell Biology at Harvard Medical School, has been on the faculty of that institution for nearly his entire academic career. His important discoveries have concerned the biochemical mechanisms and physiological regulation of protein breakdown in cells, and the importance of this process in human disease. His laboratory first demonstrated the non-lysosomal ATP-dependent pat...

Steve Huber
Exploring the role of protein phosphorylation in plants: from signalling to metabolism in leaf cellsSteve Huber received his PhD degree in 1977 at the University of Wisconsin-Madison, in the area of C4 photosynthesis. He then joined the US Department of Agriculture/Agricultural Research Service as a Plant Physiologist at North Carolina State University. During 1985-1986, he spent a sabbatical at Nagoya University, Nagoya, Japan, and in 2003 moved his laboratory to the University of Illinois at...
