Prof wins top honor
By Bengt Ljung Of the Kansan staff
Lester Mittscher, University distinguished professor and chairman of the department of medicinal chemistry, has won the highest honor given by the American Association of Colleges of Pharmacy.
Mitscher won the 1985 Ernest H. Volwiler Research Award for his cumulative research over 10 years on novel antibiotics and anti-tumor agents at the University of Kansas.
"I certainly was thrilled," Mitte-
sa said, her yesterday. "It's the highest
homer day."
Mitscher compared the Volwiler to the Oscar in motion pictures.
"It's also very much a tribute to students," he said. "They are essentially my research."
Mitscher said 10 to 12 students each year had researched his ideas during the 10-year period. The research has resulted in five books and 145 publications in journals. In 1980, the Academy for Pharmaceutical Sciences rewarded him with its Natural Product Award.
"I guess one builds on one's work," Mitscher said. "It's continual gratification that people regard one's work highly."
Campus/Area
Howard Mossberg, dean of pharmacy, said, "We're tickled pink to have him as a part of our community. His honor is our honor."
Mitscher said he had discovered numerous new antibiotics and one of them was in commercial use. His research has also produced new methods of making anti-tumor agents used for cancer research.
Mitscher was honored twice for the award. He received the award July 9 at the American Association of Colleges of Pharmacy's annual meeting in Boston. He received a $5,000 check, a gold medal and a commemorative plaque.
On Sept. 17, Mitscher was honored again by Abbot Laboratories, North Chicago, Ill., the sponsor of the award. Mitscher said the reason for the second ceremony was that Ernest Volwil, former president of Abbot and the American Chemical Society was in his 90s and was unable to travel far from his home in Chicago.
