Zerong Wang, PhD, is a full Professor at the University of Houston-Clear Lake, Texas. Prior to that, he worked at the Institute for Biological Sciences of the National Research Council of Canada. Dr. Wang has developed research projects relating to sulfur chemistry, computational chemistry, nucleoside analogs, heterocycle chemistry, materials science, and macromolecules (pillarene, calix[n]arene, and melamine-based dendrimers, etc.) and has received 22 research grants. He has developed two compendiums in organic chemistry: Comprehensive Organic Named Reactions, with Detailed Mechanism Discussions and Updated Experimental Procedures (3 volumes) (Wiley, 2009) and Encyclopedia of Physical Organic Chemistry, the PROSE Award winner in 2018. While conducting research activities, the author also teaches courses for both graduate and undergraduate students on many subjects in the fields of chemistry.

• 1. beta-Lactams and Antibiotics 2. Antimicrobial Activity of beta-Lactams and Bacterial Resistance 3. Synthetic Methods of beta-Lactams 4. Reactions of beta-Lactams
