Several young scientists are making their mark in the field of catalysis. For instance, Jennifer A. Doudna and Emmanuelle Charpentier, who are more widely known for their work on CRISPR technology, have also contributed to the understanding of biocatalysis.
Another emerging figure is Mircea Dincă, who is known for his work on metal-organic frameworks (MOFs) and their applications in catalysis. His research focuses on developing new materials that can act as efficient catalysts for a variety of chemical reactions.
