PALO ALTO, Calif., May 14 /PRNewswire/ -- Roche has honored 12 outstanding Ph.D. students and two professors with the company's Excellence in Chemistry Award for research accomplishments in the field of organic chemistry. The winners participated in Roche's annual Chemistry Symposium where they gained a real-world perspective on the important role of organic chemistry in pharmaceutical discovery.

In addition, there were plenary lectures by this year's faculty award winners: Professor Jeffrey W. Bode of the University of Pennsylvania and Professor Dirk Trauner of the University of California, Berkeley.
