Make it rewarding by granting the company an additional 5 years of exclusivity on ANY drug product in their portfolio. 5 year extension of any patent. Not just the antibiotic patent.

It was truly an honor for @theserbianator and me to host our mentor @BogerLab during the Closs Lecture at @UChiChemistry. Having our old mentor visit is akin to welcoming a cherished family member, leaving everyone in awe. Such moments in Grad school are rare and unforgettable.😊

Heard rumors of a spectacular initiative for incentiving antibiotic development: any company that successfully secures FDA approval for a new antibiotic will get a 5y extension of exclusive patent protection for ANY drug of their choice in their portfolio. Anyone else heard this?

Crushing news. Albert single handedly changed the face of organic chemistry over a stunning 7 decades filled with unbelievable science conceived and executed at levels mere mortals can only dream of. Truest of all gentleman and scholars, cherished colleague, and a dear friend
In deepest grief, the Laboratory of Organic Chemistry at @ETH_DCHAB at @ETH_en announces that our friend and colleague, Prof. em. Albert Eschenmoser passed away peacefully, at the age of 97, on July 14, 2023. Albert #Eschenmoser shaped organic chemistry as did few others. 1/3
