Date28 March 2019
DescriptionCertificate endorsing election of Véronique Gouverneur as a Fellow of the Royal Society, including personal details of the elected Fellow and citing the reasons for election and names of proposers. Signed by the Executive Director of the Royal Society, Julie Maxton.
CitationVéronique Gouverneur is an eminent contributor to organofluorine chemistry. She is distinguished for discovering synthetic and catalytic methods for late-stage fluorination that provide powerful new tools for medicine and pharmacology. Gouverneur is the acknowledged leader worldwide in cutting-edge development of 18F-radiochemistry for PET imaging, through novel synthetic methods and new reagents designed to work on a highly constrained timescale (t1/2 for 18F is ca. 2h.). Her creative work encompassing controlled routes to fluorinated and trifluoromethylated products and 18F-analogues is internationally recognized through numerous endowed lectures and prestigious awards, and her recent labelled (L)-DOPA synthesis will impact strongly on clinical practice.
