About the Author

ZBIGNIEW J. WITCZAK, PhD, is Professor in the Departmentof Pharmaceutical Sciences of the Nesbitt School of Pharmacy atWilkes University. He has published over ninety research papers andholds six patents. His research focuses on carbohydrate synthons,including levoglucosenone and L-arabinose, as templates forcarbohydrate-based therapeutics. In 2000, Dr. Witczak was awardedthe Melville L. Wolfrom Award from the ACS Division of CarbohydrateChemistry. ROMAN BIELSKI, PhD, is Senior Scientist at ValueRecovery, Inc., Partner in Cheminnolab, LLC, and Adjunct Professorin the Department of Pharmaceutical Sciences at Wilkes University.His research investigates the origin of homochirality, modificationof carbohydrates, solutions to environmental issues, andsustainability. As part of his achievements, Dr. Bielskico-developed a method of enantiomers' resolution, which might havebeen involved in prebiotic homochirality, since it would notrequire the use of chiral compounds.
