Michael Scott VanNieuwenhze
Michael Scott VanNieuwenhze (born May 1962) is an American biochemist and Standiford H. Cox Professor at Indiana University at Bloomington. He leads a research group working on organic synthesis for problems regarding biological and medical interest.[1]
Early life and education[edit]
Michael Scott VanNieuwenhze was born in May 1962, and is a native of San Diego, California. He finished his Bachelor of the Arts from Kalamazoo College in 1984 and a Master of Science degree from Yale University in 1988. He received his Ph.D. degree from Indiana University at Bloomington in 1992 under Professor William Roush. He later went to The Scripps Research Institute in La Jolla, California as a postdoctoral, where he worked under Professor K. Barry Sharpless. In 1994, he accepted a position from Discovery Chemistry Research at Eli Lilly and Company, Indianapolis where two patents were filed with his name. In 2002, he moved to the University of San Diego for a faculty position, and in 2007 he came back to Indiana University at Bloomington as an associated professor in Chemistry.[2]
