Lippard''' is a prominent American [[chemist]] known for his significant contributions to the field of [[bioinorganic chemistry]]. He is particularly recognized for his research on the role of [[metal ions]] in [[biological systems]] and the development of [[metal-based drugs]].<br />
<br />
== Early Life and Education ==<br />
Stephen J. Lippard was born on October 12, 1940, in [[Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania]]. He completed his undergraduate studies at [[Haverford College]], where he received a Bachelor of Science degree in [[chemistry]] in 1962. He then pursued his graduate studies at the [[Massachusetts Institute of Technology]] (MIT), earning a Ph.D. in [[chemistry]] in 1965 under the supervision of [[F. Albert Cotton]].<br />
<br />
== Academic Career ==<br />
After completing his Ph.D., Lippard began his academic career as an assistant professor at [[Columbia University]] in 1966. He was promoted to associate professor in 1970 and full professor in 1972. In 1983, he joined the faculty at MIT, where he has held various prestigious positions, including the Arthur Amos Noyes Professor of Chemistry.<br />
<br />
== Research Contributions ==<br />
Lippard's research has significantly advanced the understanding of [[bioinorganic chemistry]]. His work on [[cisplatin]], a platinum-based [[anticancer drug]], has been particularly influential. He elucidated the mechanism by which cisplatin interacts with [[DNA]], leading to its effectiveness in treating various forms of [[cancer]]. This research has paved the way for the development of new metal-based drugs with improved efficacy and reduced side effects.<br />
<br />
In addition to his work on cisplatin, Lippard has made important contributions to the study of [[metalloenzymes]], [[metal ion]] transport and storage in [[biological systems]], and the design of [[metal-based sensors]] for detecting [[biological molecules]].<br />
<br />
== Awards and Honors ==<br />
Stephen J. Lippard has received numerous awards and honors for his contributions to chemistry, including:<br />
* The [[National Medal of Science]] (2004)<br />
* The [[Priestley Medal]] (2014)<br />
* Election to the [[National Academy of Sciences]]<br />
* Election to the [[American Academy of Arts and Sciences]]<br />
<br />
== Personal Life ==<br />
Lippard is married and has two children. He continues to be active in research and mentoring young scientists.<br />
<br />
== Selected Publications ==<br />
Lippard has authored and co-authored numerous scientific papers and books. Some of his notable publications include:<br />
* ''Principles of Bioinorganic Chemistry'' (with Jeremy M. Berg)<br />
* ''Chemical Reviews'' articles on [[cisplatin]] and [[metalloenzymes]]<br />
