ASPET Division Sponsored Awards
The Robert R. Ruffolo Career Achievement Award in Pharmacology recognizes the scientific achievements of scientists who are at the height of their careers (typically mid-to late-career) and who have made significant contributions to any area of pharmacology. This award was established in 2011 in recognition of the contributions made to drug discovery and development by Dr. Ruffolo.
The Louis S. Goodman and Alfred Gilman Award in Receptor Pharmacology was established in 1980 to recognize and stimulate outstanding research in pharmacology of biological receptors. Such research might provide a better understanding of the mechanisms of biological processes and potentially provide the basis for the discovery of drugs useful in the treatment of diseases.
