Dr. Trippier named to advisory board of national journal
Paul Trippier, PhD, associate professor of pharmaceutical sciences and director of the Pharmaceutical Sciences Graduate Program, has been named to the early career advisory board for the Journal of Medicinal Chemistry (JMC).
The journal announced that its new board “features over a dozen young researchers with a variety of expertise from across the globe.” Dr. Trippier works on using medicinal chemistry to make cancer therapies more effective, among other projects.
“The Journal of Medicinal Chemistry is the most prestigious in our field,” he said. “I am excited to play a small part in continuing this tradition and steering the journal forward. I see serving on the board as an opportunity to reach out to new talent in the field, bring them into the collection of amazing scientists who publish in the journal, and to increase collaborations.”
