Jean Chmielewski is an American chemist who is the Alice Watson Kramer Distinguished Professor at Purdue University.
She moved to Columbia University for her graduate studies, where she developed biomimetic chemistry with Ronald Breslow.
[4] At Rockefeller, Chmielewski was awarded an NIH postdoctoral fellowship, and worked with Emil T. Kaiser on peptide fragment coupling.
At the University of California, Berkeley, Chmielewski developed covalent methods to stabilize peptide conformations.
[5][6] She looks to create antibiotics that target intracellular pathogenic bacteria and agents that modulate drug efflux transporters.
