Year Awarded: 2013

John Gladysz joined the faculty of the College of Science in 2007 and holds the Dow Chair in Chemical Invention. He earned his B.S. from the University of Michigan and his Ph.D. from Stanford University. His honors include the Arthur C. Cope Scholar Award and the Award in Organometallic Chemistry from the American Chemical Society, the von Humboldt Foundation Research Award for Senior Scientists, inaugural Fellow of the American Chemical Society, and editor in chief of Organometallics.



Dr. Gladysz’s research achievements are anchored in organometallic chemistry, and encompass creative multistep syntheses of complex target molecules, applications in organic synthesis, novel enantioselective and recyclable catalysts, incisive studies of reaction mechanisms, and a variety of physical techniques. They are remarkable for their originality, breadth of impact, and thorough execution, and often extend into physical organic chemistry or other fields for inspiration. He has more than 400 refereed research publications, 475 invited lectures at academic and industrial laboratories, and more than 150 invited lectures at meetings and symposia. Since coming to Texas A&M, Dr. Gladysz has worked to build a stronger research community through his leadership on the Distinguished Professor’s Executive Committee, which he currently chairs. His national and international service to the broader scientific community is a credit to the university, and the Department of Chemistry.



His nominator comments that Dr. Gladysz’s research is clearly at the frontier of synthesis, reactivity, catalysis, mechanism, structure, and bonding in chemistry, vividly conveying the vitality of these disciplines. Further, he says that Dr. Gladysz is totally committed to research and education. He runs a vibrant and productive research group and has consistently maintained an enviable level of excellence.

Year Awarded: 2016

Richard Gomer is the Thomas Powell '62 Professor of Biology. He received a B.A. in physics from Pomona College and Ph.D. in biology from Caltech. After doing postdoctoral work at the University of California at San Diego, he served as a member of the faculty at Rice University. While there, he was also a Howard Hughes Medical Institute Investigator and an adjunct faculty member at Baylor College of Medicine. He moved his lab to Texas A&M and joined the faculty of the College of Science in 2010. Until 2003, Dr. Gomer split his research between astronomy—focusing on mass transfer in close binary stars—and developmental biology—focusing on the formation of tissues of defined size and composition. In 2003, he and a postdoctoral researcher in his lab found a potential therapeutic for fibrosing diseases, such as congestive heart failure, cirrhosis of the liver, end-stage kidney disease, and pulmonary fibrosis. After this discovery, he stopped his astronomy work to focus on developmental biology and fibrosis, and co-founded a company to pursue the potential therapeutic. In clinical trials, the therapeutic is showing good efficacy at reversing disease in patients with pulmonary fibrosis and patients with myelofibrosis, a bone marrow fibrosis. At Texas A&M, in addition to doing basic research, his lab has identified a potential therapeutic for a lung disease called acute respiratory distress syndrome, as well as two second-generation therapeutics for fibrosis. He has authored more than 160 high impact publications, serves on the editorial boards of four journals, and holds 13 patents. His recent awards include being named Inventor of the Year by the State Bar of Texas and a National Academies Education Fellow in the Life Sciences.

Year Awarded: 2015

Eleanor Myers Green has held the Carl B. King deanship of the College of Veterinary Medicine & Biomedical Sciences since 2009. She is the first woman to serve as dean in the college’s nearly one hundred year history. Dr. Green is a board certified specialist in both large animal and equine practice as a Diplomate of both the American College of Veterinary Internal Medicine and the American Board of Veterinary Practitioners. After receiving her BS degree in Animal Science from the University of Florida, Dr. Greened earned her DVM from Auburn University (1 of 3 women in her graduating class of 100). She has served as the first woman president of three national organizations: the American Board of Veterinary Practitioners, the American Association of Veterinary Clinicians, and the American Association of Equine Practitioners. Her nominator says that “Dean Green’s administrative record at TAMU is one of sustained leadership and service.… She has brought about positive, enduring change to our college, as well as to the university and her profession. …Quite simply, we are a different place than we were six years ago. We are more enthusiastic, optimistic, and successful.” Her supporters endorse her as “a person of great integrity and compassion, and a visionary leader among her peers.” “There is no one better at listening to the needs and wants of others than Dr. Green. She is an amazing facilitator and consensus builder.” “The culture of Texas A&M’s College of Veterinary Medicine & Biomedical Science has changed, and is well on a path to even more progressive change.” “…She has a wholesome, heartfelt, and effective concern for her students and colleagues. She genuinely cares for them; their well-being is her top priority. I can think of no higher tribute to be paid to an educator and/or administrator.”
