IUPAC-RICHTER PRIZE
TO ARUN GHOSH
ARUN K. GHOSH, Ian P. Rothwell Distin-
guished Professor at Purdue University,
is the winner of the 2010 IUPAC-Richter
Prize in Medicinal Chemistry. His use of
backbone binding to withstand drug resis-
tance 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.
JAMES BOGGS EARNS
MEZ-STARCK PRIZE
James E. Boggs, professor emeritus of
chemistry and biochemistry at the University of Texas, Austin, was awarded the 2010
International Dr. Barbara Mez-Starck Prize
for his outstanding contributions to the
study of molecular structure and high-reso-lution molecular spectroscopy. His research
involves the use of high-accuracy quantum
chemical methods to study molecular structure and dynamics. The award honors the
memory of Barbara Mez-Starck, founder of
the Chemical Information Group, in Ulm,
Germany, and includes a cash award of
4,000 euros (approximately $5,000).
