Dr. Temple Smith graduated with a Ph.D. in Nuclear Physics from the University of Colorado in 1969. Then did a National Institutes of Health (USA) postdoctoral fellowship under the direction of the mathematician, Stanislaw Ulam, and the molecular biologist, John R. Sadler. There he carried out a detailed analysis of the E. coli Lac operator mutations. In 1979, Dr. Smith was one of the founders of GenBank, the US/NIH repository of Nucleic acid and protein sequences, initially at Los Alamos National Laboratory. There, he with Walter Goad developed a statistical mechanical model of the Lac operon system similar to those now being developed in systems biology. Dr. Smith is a co-developer with Michael Waterman of the Smith-Waterman sequence alignment algorithm, underlying most DNA and protein sequence comparison methods today. Dr. Smith spent a sabbatical year working with Harold Morowitz at Yale resulting in a seminal paper on the relationship between biology, physics and history. In 1988 he moved to the Harvard School of Public Health in Boston, there organizing a computational biology research center and initiating a series of international meetings, “Genes and Machines” on the application of computers in modern biology. In 1991 the center moved to Boston University, becoming the BioMolecular Engineering Research Center in the College of Engineering. Dr. Smith research has included, the evolution of protein structure;the modeling of the WD-repeat protein family with Dr. Eva Neer; the history of the Life Guard apoptotic regulatory protein family. Dr. Smith has served on a number of NIH and NSF review and advisory panels. As a member of Fly Base, he helped carry out a full-genome comparative evolutionary analysis of the Drosophila clade. More recently he has investigated the origin of the eukaryotic cell and the evolutionary of the cellular genetic translation system.

As with most of the scientists profiled in these pages, the work for which Dr. Lu received his Gund-Harrington award didn't stem from a particular career goal. It is often a mix of driven scientific curiosity, specific areas of expertise, and happenstance. “I've always aimed to figure out better ways to help people suffering from all kinds of diseases, pure and simple,” Dr. Lu says. “My work investigating novel drug delivery therapies, nanomedicine, biomaterials, etc. has led me to Stargardt disease.” Usually appearing in childhood or adolescence, almost everyone with Stargardt has extremely poor visual acuity, in the range of 20/200 to 20/400, and it is not correctable with prescription eyeglasses or refractive surgery. Gene therapy, where genetic material is introduced into cells, is a promising approach to diseases which, like Stargardt, are caused by a mutation in a single gene.

Stefania Marzorati is a Researcher at the Department of Environmental Science and Policy of the University of Milan. Her research projects are focused on the development of biochar-based materials for wastewater treatment through bioelectrochemical technologies and on the valorization of waste biomass from agri-food chains with the aim of extracting bioactive compounds with high added value and macromolecules of interest for the development of active materials (active food packaging, scaffolds for biomedical applications, drug delivery systems). The techniques developed in the research lines point to the sustainability of the overall processes, for this reason “unconventional” and green technologies such as bioelectrochemical systems and the use of supercritical fluids are selected. The products resulting from the developed processes and materials are analysed through physico chemical, analytical and spectroscopic techniques such as HPLC and UPLC-MS, FTIR, Raman spectroscopy, electrochemical techniques.

Dr. Giordana Martinelli is currently a PhD researcher at the Department of Environmental Science of the University of Milan.

In 2018, I joined the BionanoTools group in CiQUS (Santiago de Compostela, Spain) Marie Skłodowska-Curie fellow, where I set up a new research line (metal-organic frameworks MOFs for bioapplications) in the group. Later, I moved to the Organic Chemistry Department of the University of Córdoba in 2020 as PI of a Young Research Project (JIN MINECO). In April 2021, I started as a “Ramón y Cajal” Researcher at the University of Seville (Spain), and just a few months later (in December 2021) I got a permanent position as a Tenured Scientist of the Spanish National Research Council (CSIC) to work at Institute for Chemical Research (IIQ-CSIC-University of Sevilla).
