The IUPAC\u2013Richter Prize in Medicinal Chemistry has been established in 2005 by a generous 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 prize is to be awarded to an internationally recognized scientist, preferably a medicinal chemist, whose activities or published accounts have made an outstanding contribution to the practice of medicinal chemistry or the discovery of one or more new drugs.<\/p>\n

Awarded biannually, the awardee is announced by IUPAC following nominations and the decision of an indepedent international Selection Committee. According to the rules of the prize the awardee is expected to give two lectures, one in Europe and one in the United States, at international symposiums on medicinal chemistry. The lecture in which the prize is awarded occurs alternatively in Europe and in the United States. The awardee receives $ 10 000, which is sponsored by Gedeon Richter Plc, and a plaque, which is presented by IUPAC.<\/p>\n

Applicants are received by NOMINATION only, with just one person needing to serve in that capacity, although a total of five (5) individuals should be listed as referees overall. The submission should contain
\na complete resume,
\na professional autobiography of not more than two pages, and
\na one-page summary of what the individual considers to be his\/her activities, accomplishments and\/or publications that have had the most significant impact upon the field of Medicinal Chemistry.<\/p>\n

The material will be forwarded confidentially to an independent selection committee appointed by the IUPAC Subcommittee on Drug Discovery and Development<\/a>.<\/p>\n
