Under the Scope Episode 58: Professor Ryan Shenvi

Professor Ryan Shenvi grew up in Wilmington, DE, which is one of the meccas of chemistry because many chemists were eager to join DuPont in the early years of its foundation. Prof. Shenvi was originally inspired by music and art at a young age, with a particular interest in jazz. He obtained his B.S. in Chemistry at Pennsylvania State University while completing undergraduate research with Prof. Raymond Funk, which began his initial interests in natural product synthesis. He then moved to La Jolla, CA to complete his graduate studies with Prof. Phil Baran at the Scripps Research Institute. Following a postdoctoral research position at Harvard University with Prof. E.J. Corey, he is now a Professor of Chemistry at the Scripps Research Institute. His group's research interests are broadly within developing chemical reactions to traverse chemical space and synthesizing natural products, and their analogues, for medicine, agriscience, or materials.
