Kurt Mislow is recognized among Jewish contributors to Science & Medicine — Organic chemist known for stereochemistry and molecular chirality
Kurt Martin Mislow was a German-American organic chemist who reshaped modern stereochemistry, introducing rigorous concepts of molecular symmetry and chirality that underlie how the three-dimensional shape of molecules governs their behavior. A longtime Princeton professor, he trained a generation of stereochemists. Born into a Jewish family in Berlin, he fled Nazi Germany, reaching the United States by way of Italy and England.
