IUPAC-Richter Prize To Arun Ghosh

August 30, 2010 | A version of this story appeared in Volume 88, Issue 35

Arun K. Ghosh, Ian P. Rothwell Distinguished Professor at Purdue University, is the winner of the 2010 IUPAC-Richter Prize in Medicinal Chemistry. His use of backbone binding to withstand drug resistance led to the development of the drug darunavir for treating multidrug-resistant HIV. Ghosh also pioneered structure-based design of β-secretase inhibitors for the treatment of Alzheimer’s disease. He will receive the $10,000 prize during the 21st European Federation of Medicinal Chemistry International Symposium, in Brussels, in September.
