CMLD-BU Scientists Awarded National Institutes of Health Grant in Pilot-Scale Libraries for High-Throughput Screening Program
Co-investigators of the Boston University Chemical Methodology and Library Development Center (CMLD-BU) (http://cmld.bu.edu) have been awarded a three-year grant for their joint proposal “Generation of Stereochemically and Structurally Complex Chemical Libraries.” The goal of the work by Professors Porco, and co-Principal Investigators Panek, Schaus, and Snyder, is to generate a number of stereochemically and structurally […]
New Catalytic Method Discovered by Schaus and CMLD-BU featured in C&E News
From Chemical & Engineering News (Vol 83, p. 13): The asymmetric construction of monastrol and other dihydropyrimidones has been a challenge for some time. The compounds are generally produced as racemates by the Biginelli reaction, developed in 1893, and single enantiomers are obtained by chiral resolution. Assistant professor of chemistry Scott E. Schaus and coworkers […]
Professor Scott Schaus Receives Research Innovation Award from Research Corporation
On November 18, 2002, Professor Scott E. Schaus (organic chemistry) received a Research Innovation Award from the Research Corporation. This highly competitive award is given each year to the top young faculty members in Chemistry, Physics, and Astronomy in the United States and Canada. Professor Schaus’ proposed research focuses on the development of asymmetric catalytic […]
Professor Scott E. Schaus Joins Chemistry Department
Professor Scott E. Schaus (Organic Chemistry) joined our faculty in Fall 2001. Scott received his B.A. in Chemistry, summa cum laude from Boston University in 1995 and a Ph.D. in Organic Chemistry with Eric Jacobsen at Harvard University in 1999. In the Jacobsen laboratory, Scott worked on the development of asymmetric catalytic reactions for the synthesis […]
