About The Scientist
Short Biography
Bernard Henrissat obtained a Ph.D. in Chemistry in 1979 (University of Grenoble, France) and a D.Sc. in Physical Sciences in 1985 (University of Grenoble, France).
After a postdoc at the Xerox Research Centre of Canada, he did most of his career at CNRS (Grenoble, then Marseille, France) studying carbohydrate-active enzymes.
In 2014 Bernard Henrissat was recruited by King Abdulaziz University at the Department of Biological Sciences.
In 2015 he received the prestigious Novozymes Prize for his work on the classification of carbohydrate-active enzymes.
Current Research Interest :
Carbohydrate-active enzymes (glycoside hydrolases, polysaccharide lyases, carbohydrate esterases, glycosyltransferases and associated auxiliary activities) in genomics and metagenomics for their role in health, nutrition and biotechnology.
Researcher ID:
J-2475-2012
