报告人简介

Prof. Maimone grew up in the small upstate town of Warsaw, NY. He pursued his undergraduate studies at the State University of New York at Buffalo, and after two years, transferred to UC-Berkeley and obtained the bachelor degree with high honors in chemistry. In 2005, he began his doctoral studies with Prof. Phil Baran at The Scripps Research Institute in La Jolla, CA. In 2009, he was trained as a NIH Postdoctoral Fellow in the group of Prof. Steve Buchwald at MIT. Prof. Maimone returned to UC-Berkeley in 2012, and began his independent career as a Cupola Era Chair in Chemistry.

Prof. Maimone’s group is well known for the elegant synthesis of diverse natural products especially terpenoids. Research in his group explores new strategies in total synthesis to realize more rapid construction of bioactive molecules. Prof. Maimone is the recipient of numerous awards and honors including Alfred P. Sloan Foundation Research Fellowship (2015), American Cancer Society Research Scholar (2016), and the NSF CAREER Award (2016) and Cottrell Scholar (2016).
