Nobel Laureate Robert Grubbs delivers 2007 Lambert Lecture
The Chemistry Department is pleased to announce that Nobel Laureate Dr. Robert Grubbs, Victor and Elizabeth Atkins Professor of Chemistry at the California Institute of Technology, will be giving this year’s Lambert lecture.
The Lambert Lecture is supported by an endowment established by alumnus Benjamin Lambert , who earned his bachelor’s degree in chemistry at Boston University (CAS ‘55). After graduating from law school, he went on to pursue a distinguished career as a patent attorney with such major pharmaceutical companies as Merck and Johnhson & Johnson. Each year, the Lambert Lecture addresses different topics in organic chemistry, the field of Lambert’s undergraduate and graduate studies, and features some of the most distinguished and creative scientists working in the field of organic chemistry today.
