 ainable means to accomplish enabling reactions for organic synthesis. This
  presentation will cover some of our latest developments in this area.\n\n
 Bio:\n\nPhil Baran was born in 1977 in Denville\, New Jersey. He received 
 his B.S. in chemistry from NYU in 1997\, his Ph.D. The Scripps Research In
 stitute in 2001\, and from 2001-2003 he was an NIH-postdoctoral fellow at 
 Harvard. His independent career began at Scripps in the summer of 2003. Ph
 il has published over 220 scientific articles\, several patents\, and has 
 been the recipient of several ACS awards such as the Corey (2015)\, Pure C
 hemistry (2010)\, Fresenius (2006)\, and Nobel Laureate Signature (2003)\,
  and several international distinctions such as the Hirata Gold Medal and 
 Mukaiyama Prize (Japan)\, the RSC award in Synthesis (UK)\, the Sackler Pr
 ize (Israel)\, and the Janssen Prize (Belgium). In 2013 he was named a Mac
 Arthur Foundation Fellow\, in 2015 he was elected to the American Academy 
 of Arts and Sciences\, in 2016 he was awarded the Blavatnik National Award
 \, and in 2017\, he was elected to the National Academy of Sciences\, USA.
  He has delivered hundreds of lectures around the world and consults for n
 umerous companies such as Bristol-Myers Squibb and Gilead. He currently se
 rves as a scientific advisory board member for Eisai\, Alkermes\, Nutcrack
 er\, Quanta and AsymChem. In 2016 he was appointed as an Associate Editor 
 for the Journal of the American Chemical Society. He co-founded Sirenas Ma
 rine Discovery (2012)\, Vividion Therapeutics (2016)\, Elsie Biotechnologi
 es (2021)\, and Elima Therapeutics (2022). In 2013 he co-authored The Port
 able Chemist’s Consultant\, an interactive book published on the iBooks st
 ore along with his graduate class in Heterocyclic Chemistry (viewable on Y
 ouTube). The Baran laboratory is committed to identifying areas of chemica
 l synthesis that can have a dramatic impact on the rate of drug discovery 
 and development. This is achieved both through the development of practica
 l total syntheses of complex natural products (such as terpenes\, alkaloid
 s\, peptides\, and oligonucleotides) and by inventing reactions which can 
 dramatically simplify retrosynthesis. Outside of the lab\, Phil enjoys spe
 nding time with his wife Ana and three young children (Lucia\, Leah\, and 
 Manuel).\n
