Philip S. Portoghese Journal of Medicinal Chemistry/ACS Medicinal Chemistry Letters - Division of Medicinal Chemistry Joint Lectureship (Early Career)

The Philip S. Portoghese Lectureship honors early-career investigators who have made significant contributions to medicinal chemistry research. Named in honor of Phil Portoghese, Editor-in-Chief of the Journal of Medicinal Chemistry from 1972 to 2011, this award recognizes individuals who have displayed impact or promise of impact to the field of medicinal chemistry. Two awards are given annually to early-career investigators who have completed their terminal degree within the past 10 years and have published at least one article in the Journal of Medicinal Chemistry. The lectureship was established to enhance the visibility of the Journal of Medicinal Chemistry and ACS Medicinal Chemistry Letters within the medicinal chemistry community and strengthen ties between the Journals and the ACS Division of Medicinal Chemistry. Recipients are honored at the annual fall ACS meeting.
