Searle Scholars ProgramThe Searle Scholars Program is a career development award made annually to support 15 young faculty in biomedical research and chemistry at US universities and research centers. The goal of the award is to support to exceptional young scientists who are at the beginning of their independent research careers and are working in the fields of medicine, chemistry, and/or biological sciences.
David E. CaneDavid E. Cane (born September 22, 1944) is an American biological chemist. He is Vernon K. Krieble Professor of Chemistry Emeritus and professor of molecular biology, cell biology, and biochemistry emeritus at Brown University in Providence, Rhode Island. He is recognized for his work on the biosynthesis of natural products, particularly terpenoids and polyketides. He was elected as a Fellow of the American Association for the Advancement of Science in 2003 and as a Fellow of the American Academy of Arts and Sciences in 2013.
Camille Dreyfus Teacher-Scholar AwardsThe Camille Dreyfus Teacher-Scholar Awards are awards given to early-career researchers in chemistry by The Camille and Henry Dreyfus Foundation, Inc. "to support the research and teaching careers of talented young faculty in the chemical sciences." The Dreyfus Teacher-Scholar program began in 1970. In 1994, the program was divided into two parallel awards: The Camille Dreyfus Teacher-Scholar Awards Program, aimed at research universities, and the Henry Dreyfus Teacher-Scholar Awards Program, directed at primarily undergraduate institutions. This list compiles all the pre-1994 Teacher-Scholars, and the subsequent Camille Dreyfus Teacher-Scholars. The annually presented awards consist of a monetary prize of $75,000, which was increased to $100,000 starting in 2019. Seven winners of the Camille Dreyfus Teacher-Scholar Awards have gone on to win the Nobel Prize in Chemistry, including Paul L. Modrich, Richard R. Schrock, Robert H. Grubbs, K. Barry Sharpless, Ahmed H. Zewail, Mario J. Molina and Yuan Tseh Lee.

David W. ChristiansonDavid W. Christianson is an American biochemist. Christianson earned his bachelor's degree from Harvard College in 1983, and remained at Harvard University to complete his master's and doctoral studies in 1985 and 1987, respectively. He joined the University of Pennsylvania faculty in 1988, and is the Roy and Diana Vagelos Professor in Chemistry and Chemical Biology. Christianson was awarded a Guggenheim Fellowship in 2006. Christianson's research focuses on enzyme structure, mechanism, and inhibition. His research accomplishments have been recognized by the Pfizer Award in Enzyme Chemistry (1999) and the Repligen Award in Chemistry of Biological Processes (2013) from the Biological Chemistry Division of the American Chemical Society, and the American Chemical Society Philadelphia Section Award (2021). Earlier in his career at Penn, Christianson received the Young Investigator Award from the Office of Naval Research (1989), a Searle Scholar Award (1989), an Alfred P. Sloan Research Fellowship (1992), and a Camille and Henry Dreyfus Teacher-Scholar Award (1993). Christianson's research has also been recognized by numerous lectureships in the US and abroad, including the John Wriston Lecture at the University of Delaware (2015), the Pennsylvania Drug Discovery Institute Award Lecture (2018), the Luojia Lecture at Wuhan University (2018), the Chemistry & Biochemistry Distinguished Lecture at UCLA (2023), the Drug Research Academy Lecture at the University of Copenhagen (2024), and the Warwick Structural Biology Lecture at the University of Warwick (2025). To date, Christianson has published 300 papers and has deposited 569 protein structures in the Protein Data Bank (PDB). Protein structures determined in his research group have been featured five times as the "PDB Molecule of the Month". Christianson has also been recognized for his teaching accomplishments with the Christian R. and Mary F. Lindback Award for Distinguished Teaching (2017) and the Ira H. Abrams Memorial Award for Distinguished Teaching (2025) from the University of Pennsylvania, and the Inspirational Educator Award from the Rhodes Trust, Oxford University (2019). Christianson was Chair of the Department of Chemistry at Penn 2018–2023. His approach to academic leadership and research culture was highlighted in Chemistry World, the official newsmagazine of the Royal Society of Chemistry. Christianson has also explored ethical issues in biomedical research and has criticized the use of intellectually disabled children as clinical test subjects. Christianson was the Underwood Fellow in the Department of Biochemistry and a Visiting Fellow at Sidney Sussex College, Cambridge University ( Michaelmas Term, 2006), the Elizabeth S. and Richard M. Cashin Fellow at the Harvard-Radcliffe Institute (2015-2016), and Visiting Professor in the Department of Chemistry and Chemical Biology at Harvard University in 2016. He was also a Fellow of the Japan Society for the Promotion of Science, hosted by the University of Tokyo (2025). Christianson is a member of the American Chemical Society and a Fellow of the Royal Society of Chemistry.
