Stephen James Lippard (born October 12, 1940) is the Arthur Amos Noyes Emeritus Professor of Chemistry at the Massachusetts Institute of Technology. He is considered one of the founders of bioinorganic chemistry,[2] studying the interactions of nonliving substances such as metals with biological systems.[3] He is also considered a founder of metalloneurochemistry, the study of metal ions and their effects in the brain and nervous system.[4] He has done pioneering work in understanding protein structure and synthesis, the enzymatic functions of methane monooxygenase (MMO), and the mechanisms of cisplatin anticancer drugs.[3] His work has applications for the treatment of cancer,[4] for bioremediation of the environment,[5] and for the development of synthetic methanol-based fuels.[3]
