BMS
Grant Awarded to Professor Scott Snyder
Congratulations to Professor Scott Snyder, who is a recipient of a 2011
Bristol-Myers Squibb (BMS) Unrestricted Grant in Synthetic Organic
Chemistry. The award is bestowed annually by researchers at BMS, in
consultation with leading organic chemists in academia, to recognize faculty
near the start of their careers who have made a fundamental contribution to the
field. The award carries $150K over its two-year span. Past
recipients in the Columbia chemistry department are Professors James
Leighton (in 1999) and Dalibor Sames (in 2004). Professor Sam
Danishefsky received a distinguished achievement award from BMS in 2006 as
part of the Freedom to Discover program, which was a forerunner of the
current unrestricted grant program.
