Timeline
Gideon John Davies (born 6 July 1964) is a professor of chemistry in the Structural Biology Laboratory (YSBL) at the University of York, UK.
Davies is best known for his ground-breaking studies into carbohydrate-active enzymes, notably analysing the conformational and mechanistic basis for catalysis and applying this for societal benefit.
Davies was educated at the University of Bristol where he was awarded a Bachelor of Science degree in Biochemistry and a PhD in 1990 for research on the enzyme phosphoglycerate kinase isolated from the bacterium Bacillus stearothermophilus, and supervised by Herman Watson and Len Hall.
in 1990, Davies moved to York to work with Dale Wigley and Guy Dodson on DNA gyrase, starting his own group within YSBL in 1996 upon receiving a Royal Society University Research Fellowship.
Davies married Valérie Marie-Andrée Ducros in 1999 (div. 2021) and has two daughters.
He was appointed Professor at the University of York in 2001 and awarded a Royal Society Ken Murray Research Professorship in 2016.
He has collaborated with Alywn Jones, Bernard Henrissat, Steve Withers and David Vocadlo.
Among those who undertook doctoral research with him are Tracey Gloster.
Davies research investigates the biological chemistry of carbohydrates, from their structure to their roles in enzymology, glycobiology, use as biofuels and implications for gut microbiota.
His research has been funded by the Biotechnology and Biological Sciences Research Council (BBSRC), European Research Council (ERC) and Alzheimer's Research UK.
Davies has over 400 publications in peer-reviewed journals.
