Ernst Otto Fischer was a German chemist who won the Nobel Prize for pioneering work in the area of organometallic chemistry.
In chemistry,a reactive intermediate or an intermediate is a short-lived,high-energy,highly reactive molecule. When generated in a chemical reaction,it will quickly convert into a more stable molecule. Only in exceptional cases can these compounds be isolated and stored,e.g. low temperatures,matrix isolation. When their existence is indicated,reactive intermediates can help explain how a chemical reaction takes place.

Edward Curtis Taylor,Jr. was an American chemist who designed and synthesized the chemotherapy drug pemetrexed,an inhibitor of purine biosynthesis,with grant support from the U.S. National Cancer Institute,NIH. As of 2009,royalties for this drug from Eli Lilly &Co. paid to Princeton University were sufficient to completely finance a state-of-the-art 263,000-square-foot (24,400 m2) chemistry laboratory building. Taylor studied for his PhD from 1946 to 1949 at Cornell University with Professor Cornelius Cain. Taylor trained 187 PhD students.
Difluorocarbene is the chemical compound with formula CF2. It has a short half-life,0.5 and 20 ms,in solution and in the gas phase,respectively. Although highly reactive,difluorocarbene is an intermediate in the production of tetrafluoroethylene,which is produced on an industrial scale as the precursor to Teflon (PTFE).
Gregory Gabadadze is a physicist of Georgian origin. He is a professor of physics and dean for science at New York University,where he served previously as chair of the Department of Physics and as the director of the Center for Cosmology and Particle Physics.
The New York University Graduate School of Arts and Science (GSAS) is a school within New York University (NYU) founded in 1886 by Henry Mitchell MacCracken,establishing NYU as the second academic institution in the United States to grant Ph.D. degrees on academic performance and examination. The School is housed in the Silver Center,several departments have their own buildings and houses around Washington Square. The graduate program at Courant Institute of Mathematical Sciences,although run independently,is formally associated with the graduate school.
