For the 35th consecutive year, the UCSF School of Pharmacy has received more funding from the National Institutes of Health (NIH) than any other pharmacy school in the United States.
School researchers were awarded $31.8 million during the 2014 fiscal year, from October 1, 2013 to September 30, 2014.
School of Pharmacy alumnus Robert Gibson, PharmD '58, has been a tireless advocate for equality in education and in the profession of pharmacy, and is still active as a board member of the California Pharmacists Association Education Foundation.
Professor Gunnar Hansson from University of Gothenburg will present “Molecular Understanding of Mucin Biochemistry can Explain the Pathogenic Mechanisms of Ulcerative Colitis and Cystic Fibrosis.”
William DeGrado, PhD, faculty member in the School’s Department of Pharmaceutical Chemistry, has been named the 2015 recipient of The Protein Society’s Stein and Moore Award.
The award is given annually by the international society “to recognize eminent leaders in protein science who have made sustained high-impact research contributions to the field.”
His impact on the field of protein science can hardly be overestimated.
