主讲人：James Naismith 英国皇家科学院院士
题 目：A Chemical View of Enzymatic Transformations
主讲人简介：
James Naismith教授是英国皇家科学院院士，牛津大学结构生物学系结构生物学教授,哈维尔研究中心主任(Research Complex at Harwell)，罗瑟琳富兰克林研究中心主任(Rosalind Franklin Institute)。曾担任英国圣安德鲁斯大学生物大分子科学中心主任，在圣安德鲁斯大学任职期间曾为该中心的规划导向、建设运营和经费申请做出过不可磨灭的贡献。
在他的研究生涯里，他长期利用结构生物学手段解析蛋白结构，同时偶联分子生物学与生物化学手段，攻克生物机制与疾病靶点。其中包括生物信号传导、蛋白分子与底物互作模式、病原微生物糖基组装、病毒复制、特殊天然产物生物合成等领域。发表论文包括Nature、Science、Cell在内的顶级学术论文220余篇。在他的科研生涯里曾获得多种个人奖项用于表彰其对其研究领域做出的突出贡献。
2005年Jim教授当选爱丁堡皇家科学院院士（FRSE），2014年当选英国皇家科学院院士（FRS），2016年当选美国科学进步学院院士（AAAS）。在过去的12年里，其中的8年他均以首席身份职位，在担任CCP4项目首席中他曾2次为该项目成功延续经费，曾带领英国结构生物学进入欧洲X射线自由电子激光器线站计划，并被选为该线站国际用户联合首席。
Brief Introduction of Professor James Naismith
James Naismith is Fellow of Royal Society, Professor of Structural Biology at the University of Oxford, Director of the Research Complex at Harwell and Director designate of the Rosalind Franklin Institute. Before he came to Oxford, he was the Deputy of Biomolecular Science Research Complex at University of St. Andrews. During that time, he drove the vision, wrote the grant, secured University and Wellcome Trust funding for the Biomolecular Science Research Complex and oversaw its design, construction and delivery.
During his research career, he is focusing at the application of protein structure determination by X-ray crystallography coupled to molecular biology and biochemistry to probe biological mechanisms and to target specific disease pathways. He has ongoing research in 1) signal transduction 2) physical basis of protein carbohydrate interactions 3) pathogenic bacteria glycan assembly 4) viral replication 5) the biosynthesis of unusual natural products. Until now, he has published more than 220 papers in top journals including Nature Science and Cell. In 2000, he received Carbohydrate Chemistry Prize from Royal Society of Chemistry, in 2001, he got Leverhulme Trust Molecular Biology Prize and in 2004 he received Corday-Morgan Medal, in 2004, he was awarded the Colworth Medal from Royal Society of Chemistry, in 2009, he got Jeremy Knowles Medal, in 2012 he won Rita & John Cornforth Award. At last but not least, in 2014, he was awarded with Royal Society Wolfson Research Merit Award.
He was elected as Fellowship of the Royal Society of Edinburgh in 2005. He was elected as Membership of EMBO in 2009, Fellowship of the Academy Medical Sciences in 2012, Fellowship of the Royal Society in 2014 and Fellow of American Association for Advancement of Science in 2016. For over 12 years, 8 years Chairman he was heavily involved in running CCP4. He twice wrote and successfully renewed funding for the project. He managed both the strategic and operational aspects of the entire suite. He has led the UK structural biology into the European X-FEL. He is the elected head of the International User Consortium for this beamline.
