William H. Prusoff, Ph.D.

William H. Prusoff, Ph.D., professor emeritus and senior research scientist in pharmacology, has been honored by the creation of the William Prusoff Young Investigator Lecture Award. The award, supported by an endowment by the Bristol-Myers Squibb Company, will be given annually by the International Society for Antiviral Research. Its intent, the two organizations said in a statement, is to honor “one of the most talented and beloved members of the society and a loyal member since its inception. His contributions to the development of antivirals and their clinical use are legendary, and his dedication to mentoring young scientists makes this award in his name truly appropriate.”
