2025 Green Discovery Chemistry Award
The Pfizer team has been awarded the inaugural prize for their submission, “Walk-Up Automated Reaction Profiling (WARP) System: A Tool for Reaction Monitoring Designed for Discovery Chemists.” The WARP system emphasizes waste reduction and minimizing exposure to hazardous substances. The technology provides a useful and versatile profiling tool for challenging reactions and is capable of improving reaction yields, shortening reaction times, and enhancing efficiency in various chemical processes while also reducing environmental impact. It features a simple user interface system to allow open-access use, offering a wide range of options for chemists and expanding the reach of the green chemistry technologies. The winning team consists of Muhammad Alimuddin, John Braganza, Paul Richardson, Wei Wang, and Alex Yanovsky, pictured below.
