Marisa C. Kozlowski Appointed Editor-in-Chief of Organic Letters

Marisa C. Kozlowski has been appointed editor-in-chief of Organic Letters, one of the premier journals of the American Chemical Society.

“Organic chemistry has never been so thrilling, with continual new discoveries in reactivity and structure that have impacts on so many fields of science that are important to our society,” says Kozlowski, Professor of Chemistry. “I am excited to be part of the process that shepherds the disclosure of these new discoveries and to follow in the footsteps of my colleague Amos Smith, Ph.D., the founding editor-in-chief of Organic Letters, and of Erick Carreira, Ph.D., who further elevated the profile of the journal."

The central theme of research in Kozlowski's laboratory is the rational design of new methods and catalysts for use in organic synthesis, as well as the study of mechanism in order to improve reaction processes and increase understanding of fundamental reaction steps. She is the recipient of numerous awards and honors, including her election as a Fellow of the American Association for the Advancement of Science in 2012, and as an American Chemical Society Fellow in 2013. She has served since 2013 as an associate editor of The Journal of Organic Chemistry.

Organic Letters, which launched in 1999, serves as an international forum for the rapid publication of brief reports of cutting-edge research, creative approaches, and innovative ideas in all branches of the theory and practice of organic chemistry.
