Wendell Miller Distinguished Professor of Chemistry and ten years as a member of the executive committee of the Center for Biocatalysis & Bioprocessing. Since 2008 Linhardt's group has been working on a collaboration to bioengineer Heparin from ''E. coli''. This is in part a response to the outbreak of adverse heparin reactions in 2007. This work helped earn him a spot in the Scientific American 10, for the 10 people who “demonstrated outstanding commitment to assuring that the benefits of new technologies and knowledge will accrue to humanity.” He was the 2010 recipient of the Melville L. Wolfrom Award of the American Chemical Society. Provided by Wikipedia
