2011 New Investigator Award in Organic Chemistry Abigail G. Doyle is an Assistant Professor of Chemistry at Princeton University. Professor Doyle received her AB degree in Chemistry and Chemical Biology summa cum laude from Harvard University. After spending a year at Stanford University in the laboratory of Professor Justin Du Bois, she pursued graduate studies at Harvard University, receiving her PhD in 2008. Her graduate work with Professor Eric Jacobsen focused on the development of asymmetric catalytic transformations for enolate alkylation and nucleophilic addition to oxocarbenium ions. Professor Doyle started her independent career at Princeton in 2008, where her laboratory is involved in the development of new synthetic strategies for the construction of complex molecular targets using transition metal catalysis. Her group has made significant contributions in the area of asymmetric nucleophilic C–F bond formation and nickel-catalyzed cross coupling.

2011 New Faculty Grant Recipient Sarah E. Reisman was born and raised in Bar Harbor, Maine. She was an undergraduate student at Connecticut College in New London, CT, where she developed a passion for organic synthesis working in the laboratory of Prof. Timo Ovaska, and graduated with honors in 2001. In the fall of that year, Sarah enrolled in graduate studies at Yale University and joined the research group of Professor John Wood. She earned her PhD in chemistry in 2006; her thesis detailed the total synthesis of the natural product welwitindolinone A isonitrile. For her postdoctoral work, Sarah pursued studies in the field of asymmetric catalysis as an NIH fellow, working with Prof. Eric Jacobsen at Harvard University. In 2008, Sarah joined the faculty at the California Institute of Technology as an assistant professor of Chemistry. Her research program is focused on the discovery, development, and study of new chemical reactions in the context of natural product total synthesis. We strongly feel that the quality of our workplace is greatly enhanced by diversity. We are an equal opportunity employer. M/F/H/V. A place to discover http://us.boehringer-ingelheim.com
