This paper presents an overview of Dr. Mabry's accomplishments in his career as a natural product chemist, first at the University of Zürich as a post-doctoral fellow, and from 1962, as a faculty member at the University of Texas at Austin in the Department of Botany until the late 1990s, when the Biological Sciences programs at UT-Austin were completely reorganized. From then until his retirement in 2006, he was a member of the Molecular Cell and Developmental Biology faculty.
