About the Duane D. Miller Lectureship
With the support from the Dean, the UTHSC College of Pharmacy Drug Discovery Center (UTCoP DDC) established the “The Duane D. Miller Lectureship” and its related graduate student award “The Duane D. Miller Award in Drug Discovery” in 2022, and held the inaugural award ceremony in 2023. This lectureship and student award honor Dr. Duane Miller, Professor Emeritus at UTCoP, for his exceptional and long-lasting impacts on the establishment of the Medicinal Chemistry programs in UTCoP in 1992 after more than 20 Dyears successful career at the Ohio State University and his accomplishments in inventing several small molecule investigational new drugs (e.g., Enobosarm, Sabizabulin) that have moved to advanced clinical trials. In August of 2023, the Duane D Miller Lectureship endowment was created to help support the Duane D Miller Lectureship and graduate student award programs.
