Molecular Machines Applied In Medical Treatment
James Tour, Rice University

James M. Tour, a synthetic organic chemist, is at the Center for Nanoscale Science and Technology at Rice University in 1999 where he is presently the T. T. and W. F. Chao Professor of Chemistry, Professor of Computer Science, and Professor of Materials Science and NanoEngineering. In 2020, he became a Fellow of the Royal Society of Chemistry and in the same year was awarded the Royal Society of Chemistry’s Centenary Prize for innovations in materials chemistry with applications in medicine and nanotechnology. Based on the impact of his published work, in 2019 Tour was ranked in the top 0.004% of the 7 million scientists who have published at least 5 papers in their careers. He was inducted into the National Academy of Inventors in 2015. Tour was named among “The 50 Most Influential Scientists in the World Today” by TheBestSchools.org in 2019; listed in “The World’s Most Influential Scientific Minds” by Thomson Reuters ScienceWatch.com in 2014.He won the NASA Space Act Award in 2008 for his development of carbon nanotube reinforced elastomers and the Arthur C. Cope Scholar Award from the American Chemical Society for his achievements in organic chemistry in 2007. James holds a Feynman Prize in Experiment.

Molecular Machines that
Work at all Scales
Nicolas Giuseppone, University of Strasbourg
Nicolas Giuseppone received his PhD in asymmetric catalysis (laboratory of Prof. H.B. Kagan, Orsay University), performed a post-doctoral research in total synthesis (laboratory of Prof. K.C. Nicolaou, The Scripps Research Institute, La Jolla, CA, USA), and entered the field of supramolecular chemistry as a CNRS research associate (laboratory of Prof. J.-M. Lehn, University of Strasbourg).

In 2008 he started his own research group, became Associate Professor, and was awarded the ERC Starting Grant from the European Research Council in 2010. In 2013 he was promoted Full Professor of Chemistry at the University of Strasbourg and nominated as a junior member of the Institut Universitaire the France (IUF). In 2016, he was promoted Distinguished Professor.
He is deputy director of the Institut Charles Sadron - CNRS (since 2012), and director of the Research Federation on Materials and Nanoscience for the Grand Est region (since 2018). His research interests are focused on supramolecular chemistry, molecular machines, and functional materials.
