The Macmillan Group
Innovation in organic chemistry and chemical biology through the development of general catalysis concepts and their application to complex targets.
Research
The pursuit of new concepts in catalysis, exemplified by organocatalysis, cascade, synergistic, and photoredox catalysis. The application of unique methodologies to the total synthesis of natural products and pharmaceuticals. Leveraging photocatalysis to investigate complex biological environments.

Dave Macmillan
Dave started his independent career in 1998 at the University of California, Berkeley. In 2000, he moved to the California Institute of Technology.
In 2006, Dave was named the A. Barton Hepburn Professor of Chemistry at Princeton University. From 2010-2015, Dave served as the Chair of the Chemistry Department at Princeton.
He is currently the James S. McDonnell Distinguished University Professor of Chemistry at Princeton University.
Dave shares the 2021 Nobel Prize in Chemistry with Benjamin List “for the development of asymmetric organocatalysis”.
