Brian M. Stoltz (born November 12, 1970), is an American an organic chemist. He is a professor of Chemistry at California Institute of Technology. The primary focus of his research is chemical synthesis with a focus on the development of new strategies for the preparation of complex molecules possessing interesting structural, biological, and physical properties. He has specifically focused on the Tsuji–Trost reaction, developing an enantioselective varient in 2004.

Education
Stoltz received his B.S. from Indiana University of Pennsylvania in 1993. He went on to graduate study at Yale University, where he studied organic chemistry under the supervision of John L. Wood, completing his studies in 1997. Upon completion of his graduate work, he held a post-doctoral appointment in the laboratory of E. J. Corey at Harvard University from 1998 to 2000.

Career
After earning her Ph.D. from Columbia in 1979, Barton held post-doctoral appointments at Bell Labs and Yale University, where she worked with R.G. Shulman. She earned tenure at Columbia University in the 1980s. During that time her main focus was the use of organo-ruthenium complexes to probe the physical conformations of DNA. Barton eventually moved to Caltech, where her research has focused on charge transport in DNA. She was named chair of the Division of Chemistry and Chemical Engineering of California Institute of Technology, effective July 1, 2009. She is a Member of the Board of Dow Chemical (1993-), Bell Laboratories, and Gilead Sciences Scientific Advisory Board.
