David R. Rea of E. I. du Pont de Nemours and Company prepared the presentation summaries of Richard M. Gross, Allen Clamen, Elsa Reichmanis, and Lawrence H. Dubois. The summaries for the presentation of Mary L. Good, James R. Heath, Francis A. Via, and Kenneth A. Pickar were prepared by Ned D. Heindel. Andrew Kaldor wrote the summaries of the presentations by Venkat Venkatasubramanian, Michael Schrage, and Richard K. Koehn. 

Richard M. Gross Clearly, what I have tried to capture is that high throughput is unmistakably going to impact invention. We ve also been able to take the output of high-throughput research to the marketplace, so the impact on innovation is definitely there. 

Richard M. Gross Let me take these questions in reverse beginning with unmet market needs. The first thing is to work with the marketplace, not specific customers. Customers tend to be focused on their needs, not necessarily the broader market needs. It is beneficial to work with a large array of customers or players in the market, so the entire picture can be seen. 

Richard M. Gross I think industry is unanimously struggling to understand what we can do not just to help at the undergraduate level but to help all kids have a fuller appreciation of science earlier in life. Quite frankly, my biggest concern is not with finding future employees. 

Richard M. Gross Joe, thanks for the question, because two things come to mind. The answer is that computational chemistry is huge. Whether it s designing a new material for the soles of Nike shoes or whether it s SiLK, the computational chemist could stand here and give you example after example where we ve never gone into the laboratory until we ve spent hours, weeks, months in front of the workstation. 

Richard M. Gross When we talk about high-throughput research, most people think about combinatorial chemistry in the laboratory. When we think about high-throughput research, we also think about the computational dimension and, most importantly, linking them together. 

Richard M. Gross Not necessarily. The businesses have a special assignments program as well. In fact, the special assignments program is primarily through the businesses. 

Richard M. Gross Dow supports our traditional materials that have been around for a very long time. R D supports them with ever-lower costs and ever-lower resources, because we continually improve our processes and the way we service the industry. 

Richard M. Gross is corporate vice president of research and development for the Dow Chemical Company. In this capacity he serves on Dow s Corporate Operating Board, Human Resources Committee, Retirement Board, and Corporate Contributions Committee.

These enzymes can be used to make polyesters, polyacrylates, polysaccharides, polyphenols, and other polymers. An example of such an application was acknowledged with the 2003 Academic Green Chemistry Award to Richard A. Gross for a broad range of lipase-catalyzed polyester syntheses (see Ritter, 2003). The reaction shown in Figure 12.9 occurs under mild conditions and high selectivity using the immobilized lipase B, harvested from the bacterium Candida antarctica.
