Martin D. Burke (born February 5, 1976, in Westminster, Maryland) is the May and Ving Lee Professor for Chemical Innovation at the University of Illinois at Urbana–Champaign, and Associate Dean of Research in the Carle Illinois College of Medicine. Burke pioneered blocc chemistry - a modular, machine-compatible approach to small molecule synthesis . His group developed MIDA and TIDA boronates, enabling iterative C-C bond formation, universal purification, an automation-friendly synthesis. These discoveries have powered over 1000 publications and 300 patents across hundreds of laboratories worldwide.
