Brandon Rosen, Jian He to Present at Reaxys Prize Symposium

Brandon Rosen and Jian He, graduate students at The Scripps Research Institute (TSRI) will present their research at 2015 Reaxys PhD Prize Symposium this September in Hong Kong as finalists in the Reaxys global competition.

The competition is held by science information provider Elsevier to recognize original and innovative research by young chemists in organic, organometallic and inorganic chemistry. Three Reaxys PhD Prize winners will be announced at the symposium. Just 45 finalists were selected from more than 450 submissions worldwide.

Rosen is a fifth-year graduate student in the Baran lab. His research is focused on the development of new chemical methods to synthesize architecturally complex and biologically relevant natural products to ultimately expedite drug discovery.

A fifth-year graduate student in the Yu lab, He’s research is centered on designing novel transition-metal catalysts to provide access to complex molecules and to develop libraries of unnatural amino acids with the goal of facilitating peptide synthesis and drug discovery.
