Dr. Nizar Haddad,
Senior Research Fellow,
Chemical Development,
Boehringer Ingelheim,
Speaker's Bio:
Dr. Nizar Haddad was born and raised in Israel. He received his B.A. degree (1984) and D.Sc. degree in chemistry (1988, Professor D. Becker) from the Technion, Israel Institute of Technology. After his postdoctoral research at the University of Chicago with Professor J. D. Winkler and additional postdoctoral work at Harvard University with Professor Y. Kishi, he joined the faculty in the Chemistry Department at the Technion, Israel in 1991. Following one-year sabbatical leave with Professor K. C. Nicolaou at the Scripps Research Institute, he joined Boehringer Ingelheim Pharm. Inc. in 1998 where he gained wide experience in process research, process development and scale up operations. His research interests include the development of new innovative catalysts and their applications in devising scalable and economical processes.

Uttam Tambar,
Professor of Biochemistry,
Department of Chemistry,
University of Texas - Southwestern,
Speaker's Bio:
Uttam K. Tambar moved from India to New York City in 1982. He received his A.B. degree from Harvard University in 2000, where he conducted research with Professors Cynthia Friend and Stuart Schreiber. He obtained his Ph.D. from the California Institute of Technology in 2006 under the guidance of Professor Brian Stoltz. After he completed his NIH Postdoctoral Fellowship at Columbia University with Professor James Leighton in 2009, Uttam began his independent research career at UT Southwestern Medical Center in Dallas. He is currently a Professor in the Biochemistry Department and a W. W. Caruth, Jr. Scholar in Biomedical Research. The Tambar lab is interested in asymmetric catalysis, natural product synthesis, and medicinal chemistry. Uttam has received several awards, including the Thieme Chemistry Journal Award (2012), Sloan Foundation Research Fellowship (2013), Welch Foundation Norman Hackerman Award in Chemical Research (2019), and Dallas Tiki Week Home Bartender Tiki Cocktail Award (2019). Uttam is Chair of the Organic Chemistry Graduate Program at UT Southwestern and Chair of the Simmons Cancer Center’s Chemistry and Cancer Program.
