	Elias James Corey - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		Elias James Corey (born July 12, 1928) is an American organic chemist.
		Corey has gained a certain infamy in the field of chemistry for having two graduate students commit suicide and explicitly blame their advisor (Corey) for doing so.
		At the end, Jason must have been delusional or irrational in the extreme." Corey also is on record as stating that he never questioned Mr.

	Harvard chemist wins national award for lifetime contributions to science, medicine
		Elias J. Corey, Ph.D., of Cambridge, Mass., will be honored March 30 by the American Chemical Society, the world's largest scientific society, for decades of achievement, such as developing simple, logic-based rules and strategies to assemble complex compounds for medicines and a host of other products.
		Corey and his research team have made thousands of complex chemical structures, often compounds found in nature and recreated in the laboratory for study as possible drugs to treat disease.
		Corey's approach of mentally dissecting complex molecules into simple building blocks, and the step-by-step process to knit them back together, is an idea he traces to childhood.

		Corey's "approach to science is supplemented with a strict discipline, a systematic approach to learning, and the courage to plunge into uncharted areas," says K. Nicolaou, a former postdoc and now a chemistry professor at Scripps Research Institute.
		Corey was at Illinois from 1951 to mid-1959.
		Corey works only on difficult problems, expects his coworkers to pour their hearts into seeking solutions just as he does, and is satisfied only with innovative solutions.

		Elias didn't even move into second until the start of the bell lap, but once he turned it on there was no going back.
		Elias, the Class L champion and undefeated this season, was not about to let his final shot at an All-State crown slip away without challenging Moulton.

		Corey has a clear memory of the events of that month, which he says disturbed him greatly -- and the following account was drawn from a series of letters he wrote to Hoffmann in the 1980s and a recent interview in his Harvard office.
		Corey, then 35, was working into the evening on Monday, May 4, as he and the other driven chemists often did.
		Scientists interviewed widely believed that Corey was telling the truth, but some said that Woodward had a habit of posing questions to which he knew the answer, meaning he could have already devised a solution when he asked Corey about ring formation.

		Elias James Corey was a whiz kid from Methuen who wrote his doctoral thesis in four weeks, earned a PhD at age 22 and was made a full professor at 27.
		Corey went on to show how this method could be enhanced by computer programming, developing a process of computer synthetic planning that "is developing rapidly," the academy said.
		Today, Corey said, his students and postdoctoral fellows are working on 20 to 25 projects, including "molecular robots," enzyme-like chemicals that pick up one chemical ingredient and attach it to another to create a synthetic compound.

		In addition to his Nobel Prize, Corey was also awarded the Priestly Medal in 2004, the highest award given by the American Chemical Society for extraordinary intellectual achievements, outstanding professional and public service, and a high standard of excellence in fields of endeavor.
		Corey was awarded the Nobel Prize "for his development of the theory and methodology of organic synthesis." Corey began developing the theories that he would be recognized for as a student at the Massachusetts Institute of Technology.

		As these problems were being resolved in the laboratory, Corey and Martinez "designed another drug, roughly of the same class but of a different chemical structure, which we call phthalascidin," Corey related.
		According to Corey, "the most exciting thing that has emerged so far is the (drug's) effectiveness against sarcoma." Sarcoma are tumors that arise from a variety of tissues, such as muscle and lymph.
		Asked when the drug might come to market, Corey said that the current trials "are scheduled to be wound up at the end of this year." At that point, PharmaMar plans to apply to the US Food and Drug Administration for fast-track approval so that means 6 more months of studies, he added.

		The concept of "retrosynthetic analysis", which changed the way organic chemists undertake the synthesis of complex natural products, the synthesis of longifolene, maytansine, the ginkolides, prostaglandins and leukotrienes, the development of new synthetic methods, particularly using chiral catalysts, and the application of computers to synthesis design are among his most notable achievements.
		Corey has received many honors, including the Wolf Prize (1986), the National Medal of Science (1988), the Japan Prize in Medicinal Science (1989) and the Nobel Prize in Chemistry (1990).
		Born in Massachusetts, Corey obtained the Ph.D. at M.I.T. (1951), was on the faculty at the University of Illinois (1951-59) where he became full professor at the early age of 27, and since 1959 he has been professor at Harvard.

		This "recent good fortune," Corey says of his selection last week at the ACS national meeting in New Orleans, is "both unexpected and moving." He says the award reflects well on synthetic chemistry, a "mighty engine for human betterment" that he believes is widely underappreciated.
		Corey's achievements are voluminous, but perhaps the first that comes to mind is retrosynthetic analysis, the logical deconstruction of molecules to be synthesized into simpler and simpler precursors until simple or commercially available compounds are obtained.
		Among recent targets of the Corey lab is ecteinascidin 743, a powerful anticancer compound found in minuscule amounts in sea squirts.

	Nobel Laureate creates potent anticancer weapons
		Elias J. Corey, Ph.D., winner of the 1990 Nobel Prize for chemistry, has developed a new and better way to make ecteinascidin (pronounced ek-TIN-aside-in), a drug first produced in 1996 but little used until now because it is so difficult to make.
		It was originally discovered approximately 12 years ago by a former colleague of Corey's from the University of Illinois, an avid diver.
		Reporting the results after two years of testing, research and study, Corey and graduate student Eduardo Martinez created more than 100 other derivatives of the drug, none more powerful than the two synthesized molecules.
