Akira Suzuki (born 1930), a Japanese scientist who discovered a practical way to join carbon-based molecules using a palladium catalyst — a process now called the Suzuki reaction. He received the Nobel Prize in Chemistry in 2010 together with Richard F. Heck and Ei-ichi Negishi.
Suzuki shared the 2010 Nobel Prize in Chemistry with Richard Heck and Ei-ichi Negishi.
The Suzuki reaction, named after the chemist, is widely taught in organic chemistry courses.
passive: is widely taught in [academic field]
Many pharmaceutical companies rely on Suzuki's cross-coupling method to create new drugs.
A research team at Hokkaido University still uses the techniques Suzuki developed in the 1970s.
Suzuki's discovery made it much easier to build complex carbon structures for medicines and electronics.
