Milton Thomas William Hearn AM FTSE (born 17 February 1943) is a Professor of Chemistry and the Director of the Australian Research Council Special Research Centre for Green Chemistry at the Monash University. He was previously the head of the department of Biochemistry and Molecular Biology. His work focuses on studying biomolecular structure, the study of separation science, and using that knowledge to develop green processes. He earned his B.S, Ph.D, and D.Sc in Organic Chemistry at University of Adelaide. He then did his postdoctoral work in Canada before working in New Zealand. From 1981 to 1985, he was a Research Fellow at the St. Vincent's Institute of Medical Research before joining Monash in 1986. Since 2002, he has been the Director of the Green Chemistry Center.

Stephen B. H. Kent is a chemistry professor at the University of Chicago. While professor at the Scripps Research Institute in the early 1990s he pioneered modern ligation methods for the total chemical synthesis of proteins. He was the inventor of native chemical ligation together with his student Philip Dawson. His laboratory experimentally demonstrated the principle that chemical synthesis of a protein's polypeptide chain using mirror-image amino acids after folding results in a mirror-image protein molecule which, if an enzyme, will catalyze a chemical reaction with mirror-image stereospecificity. At the University of Chicago Kent and his junior colleagues pioneered the elucidation of protein structures by quasi-racemic & racemic crystallography.
