Postdoctoral Research Fellowships in Chemistry

埃里克·J·索伦森博士被授予美国国家科学基金会化学博士后研究奖学金。索伦森博士在K.C.Nicolaou教授的指导下获得了加州大学圣地亚哥分校的博士学位。索伦森博士将在哥伦比亚大学塞缪尔·丹尼舍夫斯基教授和斯隆-凯特琳研究所的赞助下继续在斯隆-凯特琳研究所进行研究。他的博士后研究目标是生物活性天然产物的全合成；特别是低聚糖和糖肽的固相合成。成功的合成策略与机械学研究相结合，增加了我们对结构生物学相关问题的理解。化学博士后研究奖学金计划被视为一个重要的基础计划，旨在拓宽新博士的知识和经验，并吸引他们在当代化学研究和教学中从事有意义的职业。

Dr. Erik J. Sorensen has been awarded an NSF Postdoctoral Research Fellowship in Chemistry. Dr. Sorensen received his doctoral degree from the University of California at San Diego under the supervision of Professor K. C. Nicolaou. Dr. Sorensen will continue research at the Sloan-Kettering Institute under the sponsorship of Professor Samuel Danishefsky of Columbia University and the Sloan-Kettering Institute. His postdoctoral research will target the total synthesis of biologically active natural products; in particular, the solid phase synthesis of oligosaccharides and glycopeptides. Successful synthesis strategies combined with mechanistic studies increase our understanding of issues relevant to structural biology. The Postdoctoral Research Fellowships in Chemistry Program is viewed as an important infrastructural program designed to broaden the knowledge and experience of new Ph. D.s and attract them into meaningful careers in contemporary chemical research and teaching.
