Murphy
Lab
at
the
University
of
Waterloo
is
pleased

Dr.
Sarah
Wengryniuk
was
born
in
Frederick,
MD.
She
conducted
her
undergraduate
studies
at
Winthrop
University
in
Rock
Hill,
SC
earning
a
B.S.
in
chemistry
and
biology
while
also
competing
for
both
the
track
and
cross-country
teams.
From
2007-2012
she
conducted
her
doctoral
studies
at
Duke
University
under
the
direction
of
Professor
Don
Coltart,
working
on
auxiliary-based
asymmetric
ketone
alkylation.
In
2012,
she
joined
the
laboratory
of
Professor
Phil
Baran
at
The
Scripps
Research
Institute
as
an
NIH
Ruth
L.
Kirchstein
postdoctoral
fellow.
In
2015,
she
began
her
independent
career
at
Temple
University
where
her
laboratory
has
explored
novel
umpolung
reactivities
enabled
by
hypervalent
iodine
reagents.
Her
research
and
teaching
efforts
have
been
recognized
with
several
awards
including
the
Thieme
Chemistry
Journal
Award,
the
Italia-Eire
Teacher
of
the
Year,
the
Robert
L.

Prof.
Tanja
Gulder
(Leipzig
University)
Tanja
Gulder
studied
chemistry
at
the
University
of
Wuerzburg
where
she
received
her
diploma
in
2004.
After
earning
her
Ph.D.
with
distinction
under
the
supervision
of
Prof.
G.
Bringmann
in
2008,
she
pursued
postdoctoral
studies
with
Prof.
P.
S.
Baran
at
The
Scripps
Research
Institute
(La
Jolla,
CA,
USA).
After
her
return
to
Germany,
she
started
her
independent
career
in
2011

Aachen.
In
2014,
she
moved
to
TU
Muenchen
as
an
Emmy-Noether-research-group
leader
and
got
appointed
the
Heisenberg-Professorship
of
Biomimetic
Catalysis
in
2018.
Since
2020,
she
is
the
Chair
of
Organic
Chemistry
at
Leipzig
University.
Her
laboratory
is
dedicated
to
biomimetic
catalysis
(enzyme
mimicking)
with
special
focus
on
halogenations
and
its
application
in
the
synthesis
of
natural
products
and
therapeutics.
