Jennifer Lyn Roizen is an American chemist who is a professor at Duke University. Roizen studies C-H functionalization, antibiotics and selective ion channel inhibitors. She joined the International Advisory Board of Angewandte Chemie in 2021.
Roizen was an undergraduate student at Williams College, where she was first introduced to asymmetric synthesis. She was awarded the James F. Skinner Prize for scholarship.[1] She moved to the California Institute of Technology for graduate studies, where she worked under the supervision of Brian Stoltz. Her research considered enantioselective synthesis of ineleganolide. Her work led to the development of asymmetric ketone alkylation to form C(α)-tetrasubstituted carbonyl compounds.[2]
