}} Jacqueline Kapelman Barton (born New York City, NY), is an American chemist. She worked as a Professor of Chemistry at Hunter College (1980–82), and at Columbia University (1983–89) before joining the California Institute of Technology (1989-to the present). She is currently the Arthur and Marian Hanisch Memorial Professor of Chemistry and Chair of the Division of Chemistry and Chemical Engineering at Caltech. Barton studies the chemical and physical properties of DNA and their roles in biological activities. The primary focus of her research is transverse electron transport along double-stranded DNA, its implications in the biology of DNA damage and repair, and its potential for materials sciences applications such as targeted chemotherapeutic treatments for cancer. Among many other awards, Barton has received the 2011 National Medal of Science, the 2015 American Institute of Chemists Gold Medal and the 2015 Priestley Medal. ==Education== Jacqueline Kapelman is the daughter of Claudine Gutschen and her first husband, New York State supreme court justice William Kapelman. She attended Riverdale Country School for Girls in Riverdale, New York, where her math teacher, Mrs. Rosenberg, insisted that she be allowed to take calculus at the boys' school. Her interest in chemistry began at Barnard College, where she studied physical chemistry with Bernice Segal. She loved laboratory work and chemical transformations, and found Segal an inspiration as a teacher. During her last year at Barnard she married Don Barton,〔 receiving her B.A. from Barnard College as Jacqueline Kapelman Barton, summa cum laude, in 1974. She then studied inorganic chemistry at Columbia University under the supervision of Stephen J. Lippard.〔(【引用サイトリンク】url=http://gsas.columbia.edu/news/jacqueline-barton-phd-%E2%80%9979-and-michael-l-lomax-ma-%E2%80%9972-receive-distinguished-achievement-awards )〕 While at Columbia she began studying transition-metal complexes and their possible applications to chemotherapy.〔 She earned a PhD in Inorganic Chemistry in 1979, addressing ''The structure and chemical reactivity of a blue platinum complex : the interaction of antitumor latinum drugs and matallointercalation reagent with nucleic acids''. 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Jacqueline Barton」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
