Richard Liu wins Bayer Early Excellence in Science Award in Chemistry

The Bayer Foundation honors every year early career scientists for their outstanding research with the Early Excellence in Science Award (EESA) in Biology, Chemistry, Data Science and Medical Science. These awards, with a prize money of EUR 10,000 each, are presented to early career scientists worldwide.

Dr. Richard Liu (Harvard University, Cambridge, USA) is the winner of the award in Chemistry and recognized for his innovative research on catalytic reactions to produce novel, high-quality products and enhance the drug discovery pipeline. His research group explores metal-based and redox-active organic structures that enable complex chemical reactions, including palladium-, copper-, and nickel-catalyzed cross-coupling reactions. Dr. Liu’s work is highly interdisciplinary and aims to develop new concepts at the interface of organic, inorganic, and physical chemistry. Read more via Bayer Foundation.
