Professor Sir John Walker is Senetek’s Scientific Advisor and a member of Scientific Advisory Board. He is the Director of the Medical Research Council’s (MRC) Dunn Human Nutrition Unit in Cambridge, UK, and Chairman of the MIB Scientific Advisory Board. He was awarded the Nobel Prize for Chemistry in 1997, together with Professor Paul Boyer, for his work on the crystallographic analysis of the structure of the ATP synthase, a key enzyme in providing energy within the cell. The ATP synthase is a multi-subunit enzyme system which produces adenosine triphosphate, the main carrier of chemical energy in living organisms, from bacteria and fungi to plants and animals. His award winning work, which provided insight into the way that life forms produce energy, was conducted at the MRC Laboratory of Molecular Biology, in Cambridge, which he joined in 1974.
