Bojana Rakić obtained her B.Sc. in organic synthesis under the supervision of Professor Radomir Saičić, at the University of Belgrade, Serbia. On receiving an international fellowship, she moved to Canada and obtained her Ph.D. in 2007 at the University of Ottawa/National Research Council of Canada under the supervision of Professor John Pezacki, where she worked on small-molecule effects on the hepatitis C virus. Currently, she is a Postdoctoral Fellow at the University of British Columbia with Professor Stephen Withers, where she works on developing chemical biology approaches to study the function of mammalian sialyltransferases.

Steve Withers was trained (B.Sc. and Ph.D.) at the University of Bristol, UK, where he obtained his Ph.D. with Dr Michael Sinnott. He moved to Canada as a postdoctoral fellow, applying heteronuclear NMR to the study of enzymatic catalysis with Drs Brian Sykes and Neil Madsen in the Department of Biochemistry at the University of Alberta. In 1982, he moved to the University of British Columbia (UBC) as Assistant Professor of Chemistry. He now holds the Khorana Chair of Chemistry and Biochemistry at UBC and serves as the Director of CHiBi, the Centre for High-Throughput Biology at UBC.
