In honour of Professor Patrick Couvreur, recipient of the Journal Of Drug Targeting’s Lifetime Achievement Award For 2019

Abstract

It is the time of year to honour the recipient of the ‘Journal of Drug Targeting’s’ Life-time Achievement Award for 2019. The Lifetime Achievement Award is an unsolicited award given annually to honour the sustained outstanding scientific achievements of a researcher working in the broad fields of drug delivery and targeting. This year’s winner, as always, was selected by a scientific panel comprising members of the Editorial board and representatives from Taylor and Francis/Informa PLC, the publishers of the ‘Journal of Drug Targeting’.

It gives me great pleasure to announce that Professor Patrick Couvreur, from the University of Paris-Sud in France, is the recipient of this year’s ‘Journal of Drug Targeting’s’ Lifetime Achievement Award for his life-long, high impact research into the development of drug delivery systems for use in nanomedicines.
