Brief Biography :
Born and raised in China, Ben received B.Sc. from Hangzhou University (1982), M.S. from the Chinese Academy of Sciences (under the late Prof. Chutsin Liu, 1984), Ph.D. from Oregon State University (under Prof. Steven J. Gould, 1990), all in chemistry, and carried out postdoctoral research in Mol. Biology and Biochemistry at University of Wisconsin-Madison (under the late Prof. C. Richard Hutchinson, 1991-1995). Ben served on the faculty at the University of California, Davis (Department of Chemistry, 1995-2001) and University of Wisconsin-Madison (School of Pharmacy and Department of Chemistry, 2001-2010) before joining The Scripps Research Institute (TSRI) in 2011. Currently, Ben is Professor of Chemistry and Molecular Medicine and serves as the Chair of the Department of Chemistry for the TSRI Jupiter campus and Director of Natural Products Library Initiative at TSRI.
Research Interests :
The Shen lab takes a multidisciplinary approach to study natural product biosynthesis in actinomycetes by asking the following questions: what are the reactions available in nature, what are the enzymatic mechanisms of these reactions, how are these reactions linked to produce complex structures, what are the regulatory mechanisms of these pathways, and, ultimately, how can we manipulate nature's biosynthetic machinery for the discovery and development of new drugs. The Shen lab has authored >240 publications and 11 published patents (http://www.scripps.edu/research/faculty/shen).
