Speakers at our SOS Symposium in Honor of Prof. Barry Trost
On November 11, 2020, we hosted a virtual SOS symposium in honor of SOS Editorial Board member Prof. Barry Trost, including talks by himself and three of his alumni. These were the speakers on this occasion:
Professor Barry TrostBarry M. Trost began his academic career in 1965 at the University of Wisconsin where he was promoted to Professor of Chemistry in 1969 and subsequently became the Vilas Research Professor in 1982. He joined the faculty at Stanford as Professor of Chemistry in 1987 and became Tamaki Professor of Humanities and Sciences in 1990. Professor Trost’s work has ranged over the entire field of organic synthesis, particularly emphasizing extraordinarily novel methodology which he demonstrated translates to more efficient total synthesis of complex bioactive compounds. In recognition of his many contributions, Professor Trost has received a numerous awards, including among the many the ACS Award in Pure Chemistry (1977), the Dr. Paul Janssen Prize (1990), Bing Teaching Award (1993), the ACS Roger Adams Award (1995), the Presidential Green Chemistry Challenge Award (1998), the Yamada Prize (2001), the ACS Cope Award (2004), the Nagoya Medal (2008), the Ryoji Noyori Prize (2013), August-Wilhelm-von-Hofmann Denkmuenze (2014), Tetrahedron Prize (2014), and the RSC Sir Derek Barton Gold Medal (2020). He has been elected a fellow of the American Academy of Sciences (1982) and a member of the National Academy of Sciences (1980). He has published two books and over 1030 scientific articles.

Professor Janine CossyJanine Cossy was born in Reims, France, where she completed her undergraduate and graduate studies at the University of Champagne-Ardenne, working on photochemistry under the supervision of Prof. Jean-Pierre Pète. After a two-year postdoctoral stay with Prof. Barry Trost at the University of Wisconsin (USA), she returned to Reims, where she became Director of Research at the CNRS in 1990. In the same year, she was appointed Professor of Organic Chemistry at the ESPCI Paris. Janine Cossy’s research interests include the synthesis of natural products and biologically active molecules and the development of synthetic methods. Her research has resulted in more than 530 publications and 17 patents. She has received the CNRS Silver Medal (1996), the E.C. Taylor Senior Award (2015), and the IUPAC Distinguished Women in Chemistry or Chemical Engineering Award (2019). In 2013, she was nominated Chevalier de la Légion d'Honneur and she was elected to the French Academy of sciences in 2017.

Professor Mark LautensMark Lautens (B.Sc. Guelph, Ph.D. Wisconsin-Madison, PDF Harvard) is AstraZeneca Professor of Organic Synthesis, J.B. Jones Distinguished Professor and University Professor at the University of Toronto. His research involves discovering new synthetically useful reactions and developing strategies to make medicinal agents more efficiently. Among his honors are: Officer of the Order of Canada, Doctor of Science, honoris causa, Fellow of the Royal Society of Canada, Henry Marshall Tory Award, CIC Medal, E.W.R. Steacie Fellow, and J.J. Berry Smith Doctoral Supervision Award. International recognitions include Humboldt Award (Germany), Pedler Award (RSC, UK), A.P. Sloan Fellow, Lilly Grantee, A.C. Cope Scholar and H.C. Brown Award (ACS). Nearly 200 graduate students and postdoctoral fellows and an equal number of undergraduates have trained with him. Lautens has written OpEd’s in the Globe & Mail and Toronto Star advocating for supporting excellence in science and early career researchers.

Professor Nuno MaulideNuno Maulide was born in Lisbon in 1979. He graduated from the Instituto Superior Tecnico, completed an M.Sc. at the Ecole Polytechnique, and received his Ph.D. from Universite catholique de Louvain in 2007. After postdoctoral studies with Barry Trost at Stanford University, he became a Research Group Leader at the MPI Mülheim in 2009. Since 2013 he is Full Professor and Chair of Organic Synthesis at the University of Vienna. His research spans diverse areas within organic chemistry, focusing on unconventional reaction mechanisms and intermediates. Maulide was “Scientist of the Year” 2018-19 in Austria and is the youngest Corresponding Member of the Austrian Academy of Sciences. He has received the Bayer Early Excellence in Science Award (2012), the ADUC prize (German Chemical Society, 2012), the EurJOC Young Researcher Award (2015), the Elisabeth Lutz Prize (Austrian Academy of Sciences, 2016), the Prize of the City of Vienna (2017) and the Tetrahedron Young Investigator Award (2020).
