Bruce Lipshutz received his undergraduate degree in chemistry from Binghamton University, NY, USA, in 1973. He did his graduate work under the supervision of Professor Harry H. Wasserman at Yale University, New Haven, Connecticut, USA, and obtained a PhD degree in 1977. After spending two years at Harvard University, Cambridge, Massachusetts, USA, as a post-doctoral researcher in the group of Nobel Laureate E. J. Corey, he accepted a position of Assistant Professor at UC Santa Barbara in 1979 where he became full Professor in 1987.
Much of Lipshutz’s career has been focused on developing new reagents and technologies that have broad appeal in the synthetic community, many of which are now, or will soon be, commercially available.
He has received the Alfred P. Sloan Foundation Fellowship Award, the Camille & Henry Dreyfus Teacher-Scholar Award, and the Presidential Green Chemistry Award. Lipshutz is co-founder of Zymes LLC, Hasbrouck Heights, NJ, USA, a bio-science company that combines science, technology, and nature to create products that improve the quality of life.
