A huge congratulations to Professor Nagib, the university’s first Blavatnik award recipient! 🔬
In a special "Pass the Mic," we meet Professor David Nagib, who was announced this evening as one of three Blavatnik National Awards Laureates, becoming the first-ever Ohio State faculty member to earn this extraordinary honor. The Blavatnik awards were created to honor the nation's most promising young scientists tackling major global challenges. Dr. Nagib's pioneering work in @OSU_CBC is helping chemists create more potent and selective medicines in a faster, more affordable, more efficient manner - advances that are accelerating pharmaceutical discovery and expanding what's possible in modern organic chemistry. He is a worthy recipient of the Blavatnik award, and an incredible example of Ohio State's momentum as an academic powerhouse. Congratulations! @nagiblab news.osu.edu/ohio-state-prof…
