Dale L. Boger

from Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Dale L. Boger (born August 22, 1953 in Hutchinson ) is an American chemist (synthetic organic chemistry , bioorganic chemistry , medicinal chemistry).

Boger studied at the University of Kansas with a bachelor's degree in 1975 and received his doctorate in 1980 from Harvard University under Elias James Corey ( New annulation processes; II. Studies directed toward a biomimetic synthetic approach to prostaglandins ). From 1979 he was assistant professor and later associate professor of medicinal chemistry at the University of Kansas and from 1985 associate professor and later professor at Purdue University . In 1991 he became a professor at the Scripps Research Institute . He is Richard and Alice Cramer Professor of Chemistry there. He has been a member of the Skaggs Institute for Chemical Biology since 1996. In 2012 he became head of the chemistry faculty as the successor to Kyriacos Costa Nicolaou .

Boger deals with the total synthesis of natural and biologically active substances and the methodology of organic synthesis including combinatorial chemistry as well as medicinal and bioorganic chemistry. He made important discoveries about the interaction of drugs with DNA, the stabilization of small molecules, the interruption of protein-protein interactions through signal transmission and the discovery and evaluation of new biological target molecules.

He is a member of the National Academy of Sciences (2014), the American Academy of Arts and Sciences (2006) and the American Association for the Advancement of Science , Fellow of the American Chemical Society (2010) and the Royal Society of Chemistry (2008), whose Adrien Albert Medal he received.

In 2013 he received the Ralph F. Hirschmann Award in Peptide Chemistry and in 2017 the Robert Robinson Award . In 1988 he received the Arthur C. Cope Scholar Award and in 2007 the Ernest Guenther Award in Natural Products from ACS, the ACS Award for Creativity in Organic Synthesis, the first ISHC Katritzky Award in Heterocyclic Chemistry, the Paul Janssen Prize for Creativity in Organic Synthesis and 2014 the AACR Award in Chemistry in Cancer. From 1985 to 1989 he was a Sloan Research Fellow and in 1993 of the Japan Society for the Promotion of Science. In 2005 he gave the Alder lecture at the University of Cologne.

From 1990 to 2015 he was a member of the editorial board of Tetrahedron Publications and from 1990 to 2015 he was the founder and editor of Bioorganic and Medicinal Chemistry Letters .
