Rettie Receives Internationally Recognized
ISSX Achievement Award
Allan Rettie, professor and chair of Medicinal Chemistry, has received
the 2005 North American Scientific Achievement Award from the International
Society for the Study of Xenobiotics (ISSX) for his meritorious contributions
to the field, most specifically, his global work on mechanisms of warfarin's
adverse drug reactions, particularly the recent pharmacogenomic portion
of this work that identified genetic variation in VKORC1 as a major determinant
of warfarin response (see above article). The award is a great honor.
The UW School of Pharmacy has a strong research department and is proud
to boast world-class researchers as Rettie among its faculty.
