Arturo Orellana, professor of chemistry in the Faculty of Science & Engineering,<\/strong> is the recipient of a $60,000 Boehringer Ingelheim Young Investigator Award for Organic Chemistry, awarded in the amount of $20,000 per year over three years.<\/p>\n \u201cOn behalf of the York research community, I would like to congratulate Professor Arturo Orellana on his receipt of the Boehringer Ingelheim Young Investigator Award,\u201d said Robert Hach\u00e9, York\u2019s vice-president research & innovation. \u201cThis prestigious award recognizes Professor Orellana\u2019s exceptional research achievements and contributions to the Arturo Orellana<\/strong><\/p>\n Orellana\u2019s research\u00a0relates to\u00a0the development of innovative metal-catalyzed chemical reactions for organic synthesis. In particular his research involves the development of new reactions to prepare small molecule building blocks with applications in the synthesis of pharmaceutically active agents and naturally occurring substances with important biological properties.<\/p>\n The R&D division of Boehringer Ingelheim (Canada) is one of Canada\u2019s largest pharmaceutical research centres. The Boehringer Ingelheim Young Investigator Award for Organic Chemistry is awarded yearly to a promising organic chemist in the early stages of their academic career and was established to support research in synthetic organic chemistry in Canadian universities.<\/p>\n
<\/a>field of Organic Chemistry, at the early stages of his career. We are very proud of this well-deserved recognition of Dr. Orellana\u2019s work.\u201d<\/p>\n
