Michael Krische Receives American Chemical Society Award
The award comes from the largest scientific society in the world.
Michael Krische, professor of chemistry and the Robert A. Welch Chair in Science at The University of Texas at Austin, is the 2020 recipient of the American Chemical Society's Award for Creative Work in Synthetic Organic Chemistry.
Krische's research focuses on developing novel catalytic reactions and their application towards synthesis of natural products. One area his lab investigates is the use of hydrogenation as a byproduct-free alternative to organometallic reagents in forming C-C bonds.
Krische has won two previous awards from the society: the 2007 Elias J. Corey Award for Outstanding Original Contribution in Organic Synthesis by a Young Investigator and a 2013 Arthur C. Cope Scholar Award.
The ACS, the largest scientific society in the world, will honor Krische at an awards ceremony on Tuesday, March 24, 2020, in conjunction with their Spring National Meeting in Philadelphia.
