John C. Warner

	John C. Warner Warner-Babcock Institute for Green Chemistry Chemistry Enthusiasts Program

John C. Warner received a B.S. in chemistry from the University of Massachusetts Boston and M.S. and Ph.D. degrees in organic chemistry from Princeton University. He worked at the Polaroid Corporation for nine years, then started the world's first green chemistry Ph.D. program at the University of Massachusetts Boston. Later, at the University of Massachusetts Lowell, Warner directed a research group working on projects using principles of crystal engineering, molecular recognition, and self-assembly. He was recently named president and chief technology officer at the Warner Babcock Institute for Green Chemistry.

Warner is editor of Green Chemistry Letters and Reviews. He is associate editor of the journal Organic Preparations and Procedures International, and he serves on the editorial boards of Crystal Engineering and Crystal Growth and Design. He received the 2004 Presidential Award for Excellence in Science Mentoring and the Outstanding Service to Nursing Award from Sigma Theta Tau International Honor Society of Nursing. Warner was the 2006 Honorary Inductee into Alpha Lambda Delta and was named the American Institute of Chemistry's Northeast Division's Distinguished Chemist of the Year for 2002. His recent patents in the fields of semiconductor design, biodegradable plastics, personal care products, and polymeric photoresists are examples of how green chemistry principles can be immediately incorporated into commercially relevant applications.

Co-author of the book Green Chemistry: Theory and Practice, Warner serves on the Board of Directors of the Green Chemistry Institute in Washington, DC.
