Vijaya L. Korlipara, Ph.D., Professor of
Pharmaceutical Sciences and Director of the Institute for
Biotechnology at St. John’s University, has been named a Fellow of
the American Chemical Society (ACS), in recognition of “outstanding
achievements in and contributions to Science, the Profession and
the Society.”
Dr. Korlipara is one of 96 researchers the ACS selected as
fellows nationwide from a wide range of disciplines in
academia, government and industry. They were honored at the
society’s fall national meeting in Philadelphia on August 20. With
more than 164,000 members, ACS is the world’s largest organization
representing professionals in all fields of chemistry.
The society “is especially proud to honor these chemists, who have
given so much to the community and the profession,” said Nancy B.
Jackson, Ph.D., immediate past president of ACS. “They are leaders
whose work is having a lasting beneficial impact, not just on
science but also on the ACS community.”
