Lara R. Malins completed her undergraduate studies in chemistry in 2009 as a Trustee Scholar at Boston University, where she worked in the laboratory of Associate Professor Scott Schaus on the synthesis of purine-based natural products. She was awarded an International Postgraduate Research Scholarship in 2010 to undertake her Ph.D. at the University of Sydney, Australia, in the group of Professor Richard Payne. She completed her doctorate in April 2014 and is currently a post-doctoral research associate in the Payne laboratory, focusing on the development of novel ligation methodologies for the synthesis of complex peptide and glycopeptide targets.

Richard J. Payne graduated from the University of Canterbury, New Zealand, in 2002. In 2003, he was awarded a Gates Scholarship to undertake his Ph.D. within the Department of Chemistry, University of Cambridge, under the supervision of Professor Chris Abell. After completing his Ph.D., Richard moved to the Scripps Research Institute under the auspices of a Lindemann Postdoctoral Fellowship where he worked in the laboratory of Professor Chi-Huey Wong. In 2008, he moved to the University of Sydney as a lecturer within the School of Chemistry, where he is currently Professor of Organic Chemistry and Chemical Biology and ARC Future Fellow. Richard's research focuses on utilising the tools of synthetic chemistry, including peptide and carbohydrate chemistry, to address problems of biochemical and medicinal significance.
