2021 CRE Practice Award
We are pleased to announce the winner of the 2021 CRE Practice Award is Dr. Martin D. Johnson. Dr. Johnson works for Eli Lilly and Company in Synthetic Molecule Design and Development. He received his dual doctorate in chemical engineering and environmental engineering from the University of Michigan in 2000, and his undergraduate in Chemical Engineering from Virginia Tech. Prior to joining Eli Lilly in 2005, he worked as a process research engineer at Union Carbide and The Dow Chemical Company. Dr. Johnson was awarded the 2016 ACS Award for Affordable Green Chemistry for work with continuous aerobic oxidations, and the 2016 AIChE Award for Outstanding Contribution to QbD for Drug Substance for implementation of continuous processes. Recently his group has been applying CRE concepts to improve peptide and oligonucleotide syntheses.
Tentative plans to present the award to Dr. Johnson at the CRE banquet at the 2021 Annual AIChE conference in Boston.
