We are pleased to announce that Prof. Dr. George A. O'Doherty has been appointed Section Editor-in-Chief of the “Biological and Natural Products” Section in Chemistry (ISSN: 2624-8549).
Born in Kilkenny, Ireland, the son of two organic chemists, he grew into the family business. He received his B.S. degree from RPI working with Professor Alan R. Cutler. After earning his Ph.D. with Professor Leo A. Paquette at OSU, he pursued postdoctoral studies with Professor Barry M. Trost and then Anthony G. M. Barrett.
