Prof. Dr. George A. O'Doherty Appointed Section Editor-in-Chief of “Biological and Natural Products” in Chemistry
We are pleased to announce that Prof. Dr. George A. O'Doherty has been appointed Section Editor-in-Chief of the “Biological and Natural Products” Section in Chemistry (ISSN: 2624-8549).
Born in Kilkenny, Ireland, the son of two organic chemists, he grew into the family business. He received his B.S. degree from RPI working with Professor Alan R. Cutler. After earning his Ph.D. with Professor Leo A. Paquette at OSU, he pursued postdoctoral studies with Professor Barry M. Trost and then Anthony G. M. Barrett. His independent career began at the University of Minnesota. In 2002, he moved to West Virginia University. He moved again in 2010, to Northeastern University, where he has been ever since. His laboratory is interested in the asymmetric synthesis and study of biologically important carbohydrate and natural products, with the aim of exploring their stereochemical structure–activity relationship.
