Rui Tang, the coordinator for the Chemical Science & Technology Award, is happy to announce that Joseph P McClurg is the 2024 winner. But let’s let Rui tell us all about it:
Joseph P McClurg, 2024 Chemical Science and Technology awardee
It is my distinct pleasure to announce the winner of 2024 American Chemical Society Chemical Science and Technology awardee, Joseph P McClurg. McClurg is a Senior Scientist in the Analytical Science section at Bayer Crop Science. Bayer is a global enterprise with core competencies in healthcare, nutrition. and high-tech materials.
Joseph joined the Analytical Science organization at Bayer Crop Science in June 2022 and swiftly exemplified the qualities of an exceptional scientist and mentor. He is a valued partner for the Product Supply organization, readily tackling complex technical problems and promptly delivering solutions. His natural communication style enables him to effectively collaborate with a diverse range of partners, including analytical chemists, manufacturing partners, regulatory team members, and leadership.
Before joining Bayer, Joseph had a successful career in the Pharma industry. He worked with teams of engineers, chemists, biologists, and clinicians to evaluate a variety of therapeutics. His work ranged from proprietary siRNA options, generating PD/PK data from rat/mouse plasma, to improving and inventing controlled substances and potent compounds. With his twenty-two years of analytical chemistry experience in pharmaceutical R&D, Joseph seamlessly transitioned his skills to the agriculture industry at Bayer. He continues to draw from his extensive experience to shape his problem-solving approach daily, serving as a constant teacher and example for others undergoing similar transitions.
Despite his wealth of experience, Joseph continually seeks to expand his knowledge. He regularly attends training sessions, seminars, and webinars to stay updated on new techniques and instruments in chromatography and mass-spectrometry.
Joseph is known for his easy-going nature, approachability, and willingness to help others. He annually volunteers in underserved international communities, helping to construct schools and community buildings. His strong moral center compels him to serve both his local and global communities.
Congratulations to Joseph on his well-deserved award and recognition!
