NEW HAVEN - Honor his pioneering work in cancer pharmacology and research pertaining to drug development, Alan C. Sartorelli, the Alfred Gilman Professor of Pharmacology at the Yale School of Medicine, will receive the 14th Bruce F. Cain Memorial Award from the American Association for Cancer Research (AACR). Sartorelli will receive the award during the AACR's 92nd annual meeting in New Orleans later this month. He is among nine researchers to receive prestigious cancer research awards, which honor the country's most renowned cancer investigators.
Sartorelli has designed, synthesized and evaluated potential anti-cancer agents. Two new agents developed by his laboratory are currently in clinical trials. His research contributed to the evaluation of the role of tumor cell hypoxia (insufficient levels of oxygen) in anticancer drug action and in targeting this important cellular difference in tumors for therapeutic intervention.
