ACS Award for Computers in Chemical and Pharmaceutical Research.
A one-day symposium honored Corwin H Hansch (Pomona College, Claremont, CA, USA), who received the ACS Award for Computers in Chemical and Pharmaceutical Research. Helen M Free (Board of Directors, American Chemical Society) presented the award "for his pioneering work in 1962 in initiating a generalized mathematical means for relating chemical structure to biological activity. This paradigm, now called Quantitative Structure Activity Relationships (QSAR), wields tremendous importance today in drug and pesticide research, environmental toxicology, and biochemistry".
