The IUPHAR Lecturer in Analytical Pharmacology was founded by Sir James Black following the XII International Congress of Pharmacology in Montréal, Canada in 1994. The quadrennial recipient is selected by the Nomenclature Committee of IUPHAR to recognize investigators who have made significant advances in identifying, defining and exploiting novel drug targets.
Abstracts are collected from young investigators for each World Congress of Basic and Clinical Pharmacology. Ten finalists are chosen to present their topic during the Congress. Generally, three individuals receive awards.
In the past, IUPHAR and NIDA have teamed up to identify international pharmacologists who are developing their careers. The funds awarded to the winners help defray the costs of attending the annual Frontiers in Addiction Research mini-conventions, held as satellites to the Society for Neuroscience annual meetings.
