Biography

David J Merkler obtained a PhD in Biochemistry from Pennsylvania State University in 1985 and completed Postdoctoral Fellowships in Enzymology at Temple
University School of Medicine (1985-1987) and the Albert Einstein College of Medicine (1987-1989). His next position was as Senior Scientist at Unigene

Biochemistry fi rst at Duquesne University (1995-1999) and then the University of South Florida (1999-present). His laboratory has been interested in the fatty
amides: identifi cation and characterization of the fatty acid amides (Lipidomics), identifi cation and characterization of the enzymes of fatty acid amide biosynthesis
(Enzymology and Structural Biology), and changes in the fatty acid amidome after targeted enzyme knock-out (subtraction lipidomics).
