Arnér is an MD PhD and received his degrees from Karolinska Institutet in Stockholm, Sweden.
In his early work he studied nucleotide metabolism and the biochemistry of nucloside analogs used as anticancer or antiviral drugs. Later
he moved to studies of redox biochemistry, with a focus on the mammalian thioredoxin system and selenoprotein synthesis and function.
With that field of interest, he first worked with Arne Holmgren, Stockholm, and then August Böck, Munich, before establishing his
own line of research back at Karolinska Institutet, where he is now head of the biochemistry division, in the department of medical biochemistry
and biophysics. He has served as dean of postgraduate education at Karolinska Institutet and he was Editor of BBA General Subjects for
some years before becoming Executive Editor in 2008.
S. Krag, Baltimore, MD, USA
Professor, Biochemistry and Molecular Biology, 615 North Wolfe Street, W8513, Bloomberg School of Public Health,
Baltimore, Maryland 21205. 410.955.3869 office
Dr. Krag received a B.S. in chemistry and biology from Texas Lutheran College, received
her Ph.D. in biochemistry from Johns Hopkins University, and completed postdoctoral work at the Center for Cancer Research at Massachusetts
Institute of Technology. She joined the faculty of the Department of Biochemistry at the Johns Hopkins Bloomberg School of Public Health
in 1976. She was the Associate Dean for Graduate Education and Research at the Johns Hopkins Bloomberg School of Public Health from 1992
through 2007. She is currently a professor in the Bloomberg's School Department of Biochemistry and Molecular Biology. Her research focuses
on glycobiology; in particular, her lab studied lipid intermediates (dolichol) in N-linked glycosylation, an important process in cell-surface
interactions. Her current work involves strategies to increase glycan occupancy in glycoprotein therapeutics. She taught courses in molecular
biology of disease, biochemistry, and public health biology at the Bloomberg School of Public Health. She now teaches a course in responsible
conduct of research/research ethics. She is an Executive Editor of BBA-General Subjects.
