For the 2023 issue of The Chemist published by the American Institute of Chemists, we present a well-rounded variety of articles written by authors from all over the world. Following the theme of chemistry for an ever-changing world, we have articles from all diverse areas of chemistry from authors all over the world.
To begin, we first honor contributions from American Institute of Chemists Pioneer Awardees.
We first honor Prof. Chi-Huey Wong from Scripps University in San Diego. Dr. Wong is a world-renowned expert in the fields of bioorganic and synthetic chemistry. His lab’s current interests are centered on the development of discovery tools for understanding the role of biological glycosylation in cancer progression, bacterial and viral infection, neurodegenerative disorder and immune response.
Moreover, our other Chemical Pioneer Award winner is Prof. Alison Butler from the Department of Chemistry at the University of California, Santa Barbara. Dr. Butler is a prolific scholar in the field of bioinorganic chemistry, metallobiochemistry and chemical biology, specifically with an emphasis on elucidating roles of metal ions in catalytic activities of metalloenzymes, and discovering molecules and processes by which microbes acquire the transition metals needed to grow.
In addition to the articles from the Chemical Pioneer Award winners, we have received several other contributions to the issue which will be of great interest to our readers.
We hope that you enjoy this issue and consider submitting a manuscript for consideration and publication to The Chemist in the near future. |
