The GDCh awards the Emil Fischer Medal for outstanding performance in the field of organic chemistry. The award was donated by Carl Duisberg in 1912 on the occasion of Emil Fischer's 60th birthday and was initially financed by the Carl Duisberg Foundation and later from a special fund of the GDCh. Emil Fischer was one of the most important chemists of his time and received the Nobel Prize in Chemistry in 1902 for his sugar and purine work.
Professor Peter Seeberger received the Emil Fischer Medal in recognition of his pioneering contributions to the synthesis and chemical biology of carbohydrates, in particular through the development of automated methods. His work enables the elucidation of the basic mechanisms of the interaction of glycans with other biomolecules and has thus decisively influenced the development of carbohydrate-based vaccines and materials.
Professor Thorsten Bach received the Emil Fischer Medal in recognition of his pioneering contributions to the development and application of new synthetic methods, in particular through research results in enantioselective organic photosynthesis and photocatalysis. His work has found important applications in natural product synthesis, the preparation of new complex heterocycles, and medicinal chemistry, and has decisively influenced these areas.
