Call for nominations: IUPAC–Richter Prize in Medicinal Chemistry
October 2009
The IUPAC–Richter Prize in Medicinal Chemistry is to be awarded to an internationally recognized scientist whose activities have made an outstanding contribution to the practice of medicinal chemistry or to an outstanding example of new drug discovery.
The USD 10,000 IUPAC-Richter Prize has been established by a gift from the Chemical Works of Gedeon Richter, Plc. (Budapest, Hungary) to acknowledge the key role that medicinal chemistry plays toward improving human health.
The IUPAC–Richter Prize will be presented in August 2010 during the EFMC International Symposium on Medicinal Chemistry in Brussels Belgium, where the recipient will also give a plenary lecture on the subject of his/her research. The recipient is encouraged to repeat the lecture at a medicinal chemistry symposium in the USA.
In addition the winner will receive from Thomson Reuters a free subscription to Prous Science Integrity®, a drug discovery and development portal designed to provide fast access to the information medicinal chemists need most by integrating and indexing chemical, biological and pharmacological data on more than 300,000 compounds.
"Our company has been using Prous Science Integrity for many years as a source of information on drugs in all phases of discovery and development," said Dr. János Fischer, Senior Research Scientist, Richter Plc. "The quality and reliability of the chemistry information in the portal, the breadth of coverage, extending to more than 300,000 compounds, and the structure search capabilities found in Integrity make it the ideal tool for a medicinal chemist."
The deadline for nominations is 31 December 2009, for further information visit the IUPAC-Richter Prize website.
