Dr. Neil Osheroff completed his PhD in Biochemistry and Molecular Biology at Northwestern University and was a Helen Hay Whitney Foundation Postdoctoral Fellow in the Department of Biochemistry at the Stanford University School of Medicine. He currently is Professor of Biochemistry and Medicine, Vanderbilt University School of Medicine, and the John G. Coniglio Chair in Biochemistry. His biochemistry research laboratory focuses on the mechanism of action and drug interactions of the bacterial type II topoisomerases, gyrase and topoisomerase IV. It contributed all the mechanism of action data that accompanied the applications of the novel antibacterial gepotidacin to the US Food and Drug Administration and the UK Medicines and Healthcare Products Regulatory Agency for the treatment of uncomplicated urinary tract infections and uncomplicated urogenital gonorrhea. Gepotidacin is the first new class of antibacterials to be approved for these infections in ~30 and ~40 years, respectively.  Beyond his research laboratory, Dr. Osheroff has been a medical school course director since 1990 and was one of four faculty members tasked with developing and implementing the pre-clerkship phase of the medical school curriculum. He currently co-leads the pre-clerkship phase, co-directs the first scientific block of the pre-clerkship curriculum, and is a Past-Director of the Academy for Excellence in Education. Outside of Vanderbilt, he is a Past-President of the Association of Biochemistry Educators and the International Association of Medical Science Educators and is a member of the Steering Committee of the Asia-Pacific Biomedical Science Educators Association. He currently sits on the Administrative Board of the Council of Faculties and Academic Societies of the Association of American Medical Colleges and chairs their Biomedical Research and Training Committee. Dr. Osheroff has received local, national, and international awards for mentoring, teaching, curricular design, educational leadership, scholarship, and service. He is a Fellow of the American Association for the Advancement of Science, the Association for Medical Education in Europe, and the Australia and New Zealand Association for Health Professional Educators. He has published more than 300 papers and has presented ~500 scientific and educational talks in 46 different countries.
