A Lifetime Dedicated to Unlocking the Secrets of Crystals.
Greg Stephenson was born in Anderson, Indiana in 1962. After obtaining a B.S. in Chemistry from Ball State University, he earned a Ph.D. in Medicinal Chemistry from Purdue University for research of the solid-state properties of pharmaceuticals under the advisement of Professor Stephen Byrn. He subsequently joined Eli Lilly and Company in its Material Science and Physical Characterizations group in 1994.
He is currently a Research Advisor to the Preformulation Department, where he is responsible for the company’s small molecule X-ray crystallography laboratory and its Salt Screening groups. He was the recipient of Eli Lilly and Company’s Presidential Award in 1995, 1997, 2004, and 2012. He has authored more than 70 peer-reviewed journal articles, is named as co-inventor on 14 different patents, and has authored three book chapters. He was elected as a Fellow of the International Centre for Diffraction’s awards committee. He serves on the Editorial Advisor Board for The Journal of Pharmaceutical Sciences and Pharmaceutical Development and Technology and also reviews articles for numerous journals. He continues to be fascinated by the crystallization behavior of organic compounds and continues to venture into the laboratory on every possible opportunity.
