主講人簡介：

Christopher N. Hunter是英國謝菲爾德大學生物與生物技術系教授、英國皇家學會院士🫧。他是光合細菌領域國際上頂尖專家之一📁，主要研究方向為生物起源和光合作用中膜的功能和結構🚵🏻🟣。他以生物化學、生物物理學🤹🏽‍♂️♎️、納米科學等多學科交叉手段，從蛋白質和細胞兩個水平研究微生物光合作用機製🏋🏻，是在該領域首位融合分子遺傳學和生物物理學手段來研究蛋白質工程的科學家，主編了光合作用領域標準教科書“The Purple Phototrophic Bacteria”。他的最新進展是創造性的將原子力顯微鏡和納米技術手段應用於光合作用和膜蛋白的研究中😴，這為收集並使用太陽能的設備理性設計打下了基礎🧚🏿‍♀️。

Introduction：

Christopher N. Hunter is Krebs Professor of Biochemistry, Department of Molecular Biology and Biotechnology in University of Sheffield. He was elected as the Fellow of the Royal Society in 2009. He is one of the leading experts in the field of bacteria photosynthetic, and has made a great influence in aspects of physiological and biochemical mechanisms of photosynthetic bacteria. He is the chief editor for a standard text in photosynthesis "The Purple Phototrophic Bacteria". His research interests include the function and structure of biological origin and photosynthesis in the film.

He was one of the first in his field to fuse the disciplines of molecular genetics and biophysics for protein engineering studies. He invented genetic systems to identify and characterise the genes for chlorophyll and carotenoid biosynthesis, then he used the genes to make recombinant proteins for a long-term programme of enzyme kinetics, and more recently he have innovated in photosynthesis and membrane protein research by applying atomic force microscopy and nanotechnology approaches. The fabrication of functional, nano-patterned arrays of photosynthetic complexes, the first such work for a membrane protein, forms the basis for rational design of devices for collecting and using solar energy.
