Professor Daniel J. Weix, University of Rochester, Rochester, NY, USADan Weix earned his Ph.D. in 2005 from the University of California, Berkeley, working with Professor Jonathan Ellman. He went on to postdoctoral studies with Professor John Hartwig as a NIH fellow at Yale University and the University of Illinois, Urbana. In 2008 Dan joined the Department of Chemistry at the University of Rochester. His research interests include methods development and concurrent tandem catalysis, with a focus on developing coupling reactions that will find immediate use in academia and industry, using stable and readily available starting materials. |
The Novartis Early Career Award in Organic Chemistry is given annually to outstanding scientists within 10 years of having established an independent academic research career in the areas of organic or bioorganic chemistry in the broadest sense. Two awardees are identified each year from the global research community, each of whom receives an unrestricted research grant.
