Steven D. Bruner received his B.S. degree from Boston College working in the laboratory of Marc Snapper. He received a Ph.D. degree in chemistry in 2000 from Harvard University under the direction of Professor Gregory Verdine. From 2000 to 2003, he was a Damon Runyon Cancer Research postdoctoral fellow in the laboratory of Professor Christopher Walsh at Harvard Medical School. In 2003, he joined the faculty in the Department of Chemistry at Boston College as an assistant professor. Research in his laboratory focuses on the use of structural biology and synthetic chemistry to characterize natural product biosynthetic enzymes.

Hassid s many contributions on the structure and synthesis of plant carbohydrates were recognized by a number of honors and awards. He received the first Sugar Research Award (1945) of the National Academy of Sciences (jointly with M. Doudoroff and H. A. Barker), the Charles Reid Barnes Honorary Life Membership Award of the American Society of Plant Physiologists (1964), and the C. S. Hudson Award of the Division of Carbohydrate Chemistry of the American Chemical Society (1967). He was elected to membership in the National Academy of Sciences (1958) and the American Academy of Arts and Sciences (1969), and he was honored at the 6th International Symposium on Carbohydrate Chemistry (1972) as one of three outstanding, senior American carbohydrate chemists. He was elected Chairman of the Division of Carbohydrate Chemistry (1949-1950) of the American Chemical Society, and he served as a member of numerous editorial boards, including those of the Journal of Biological Chemistry, Annual Review of Biochemistry, Carbohydrate Research, Phytochemistry, and Analytical Biochemistry.
