Véronique Gouverneur FRS (born 8 November 1964 in Geel, Belgium) is a professor of chemistry at the University of Oxford in the United Kingdom.[3][5] She also holds a tutorial fellowship at Merton College, Oxford.[4] Her research on fluorine chemistry has received many professional and scholarly awards.[6]
Education[]
Gouverneur obtained her undergraduate degree (a master's degree in chemistry),[2] and then in 1991 her doctorate, from the Université catholique de Louvain.[4] She moved in 1992 to the Scripps Research Institute in the US, returning to Europe in 1994.[4] She accepted a position of Maître de Conférence at Louis Pasteur University, working with and was associate member of the .[7]
Career and research[]
She joined the department of chemistry at Oxford in 1998, becoming reader in 2006[8] and professor in 2008.[4] In her research career, she chose fluorine chemistry as a distinctive area to focus on because fluorine compounds have many applications, including in pharmaceutical drugs and in positron emission tomography (PET) scans.[6] She has also had visiting professor posts at the University of Paris X and the Shanghai Institute of Organic Chemistry.[9]
Awards and honours[]
Gouverneur won the AstraZeneca Research Award for organic chemistry in 2005.[8] She was the 2008 winner of the Royal Society of Chemistry (RSC) , "for her important contributions to synthetic organofluorine chemistry."[10] In 2010, she was elected Fellow of the Royal Society of Chemistry[11] and received the IUPAC Distinguished Woman in Chemistry Award.[12] In 2011 she was awarded the Liebig Lectureship Award of the Organic Division of the German Chemical Society.[13] In 2012, she was holding the Blaise Pascal Chair (ENS/CEA, France).[14][15] In 2013, the UK's Royal Society selected her as one of 27 Royal Society Wolfson Research Merit Award holders.[16] In 2015, Gouverneur received the American Chemical Society Award for Creative Work in Fluorine Chemistry "for her contribution to late-stage fluorination and for invigorating creatively the field of [18F] radiochemistry for applications in Positron Emission Tomography."[17] In 2016, she was an International Visiting Research Scholar of the Peter Wall Institute for Advanced Studies (University of British Columbia)[18] and held the Tetrahedron Chair at the Belgian Organic Synthesis Symposium (BOSS) meeting.[19] That year, she received the RSC Tilden Prize for her interdisciplinary work in the area of organofluorine chemistry and radiochemistry, and the impact of her discoveries in medicine.[20][21] In 2017, Gouverneur become an elected member of the European Academy of Sciences (EURASC).[22] She received a European Research Council Advanced Grant in 2018.[23] In 2019, she received the RSC [24] and the Prelog Medal (ETH).[25] In the same year, she was the president of the Bürgenstock Conference—the Swiss Chemical Society conference on stereochemistry[26]—and was elected a Fellow of the Royal Society in 2019.[27]
