Lawrence J. Berliner received his B.S. in chemistry at U.C.L.A., then gained his Ph.D. in (bio)physical chemistry as one of the first Stanford University graduate students under H. M. McConnell. This era signalled the beginning of the spin labelling technique, where He was involved from the beginning to the current day. He was then recognized as the first British-American Heart Postdoctoral Fellowship sponsored jointly by the American Heart Association and British Heart Fund in 1967 to work in protein crystallography at the Laboratory of Molecular Biophysics at Oxford University under the tutelage of Sir David Phillips. He joined The Ohio State University in 1969 as Assistant Professor of Chemistry. He was promoted to Full Professor in 1981 and then became Emeritus Professor in 2001, following a move to become Chair of the Department of Chemistry and Biochemistry at the University of Denver, where he was an adjunct member of the University of Colorado Toxicology Graduate Program in the School of Pharmacy. He is a biophysical chemist with interests in magnetic resonance studies of proteins and enzymes, in-vivo MR studies and free radical chemistry. He is well known in the EPR field for his contributions to spin labelling for over five decades, in addition for his edited book, “Spin Labelling: Theory and Applications” (Academic Press, 1976). The ‘series’ has resulted in four volumes, with a fifth planned. The first 1976 tattered volume remains today on many lab bookshelves around the world, with the Russian translation ‘selling’ more volumes than the English version. He conceived the series “Biological Magnetic Resonance” in 1979 with NMR pioneer Jacques Reuben, which is now in its 30th volume, and He now coordinates new volumes with guest co-editors. His work has covered proteolytic enzymes, including key coagulation proteins involved in thrombosis, protein-protein interactions in lactation and other key biological processes, in-vivo EPR on small animals
