Chief editor of Nature Chemical Biology:

Terry L. Sheppard

Before assuming the Editorship of Nature Chemical Biology, Terry spent 6 years at Northwestern University's Department of Chemistry, where he developed an independent program in nucleic acid chemical biology, which included investigations of oxidative DNA damage and repair, template-directed synthesis, and nucleoside therapeutics. This followed his appointment as a NASA postdoctoral fellow with Gerald F. Joyce at The Scripps Research Institute, where he discovered, using in vitro evolution, a "DNA enzyme" that catalyzed DNA depurination and strand cleavage. Terry completed his Ph.D. in organic chemistry with Ronald Breslow at Columbia University in 1995, where he synthesized 2',5'-linked DNA and evaluated its promise for antisense therapeutic applications.
