Professor Eric Block
Eric Block, Carla Rizzo Delray Distinguished Professor of Chemistry at the University at Albany, State University of New York, is a world authority on garlic science. The New York Times called his recent 454 page book "Garlic and Other Alliums: The Lore and the Science" (Royal Society of Chemistry, 2009 (hardback), 2010 (softback)), "the definitive word on the alliums." Block, born in New York City, received a B.S. in chemistry from Queens College of the City University of New York and an M.S. and Ph.D. in chemistry from Harvard University with 1990 Nobel Laureate E.J. Corey. A member of the Editorial Advisory Board of the Journal of Agricultural and Food Chemistry, Block has been Visiting Professor at Harvard University, Michael Visiting Professor at the Weizmann Institute of Science in Israel and most recently, Visiting Fellow at Wolfson College, Cambridge University. Eric Block was the 1984 recipient of a John Simon Guggenheim Fellowship, the 1987 recipient of the American Chemical Society's Award for Advancement of Application of Agricultural and Food Chemistry, and the 2003 recipient of the Kenneth C. Spencer Award of the Kansas City Section of the ACS, among other honors. He is the author of 236 scientific papers, 8 patents, and 4 books, many of which deal with garlic and other alliums, or the chemistry of the elements sulfur and selenium, central to the chemistry of alliums.
