Lauréats

2004 laureate : William A. Craig, Professor of Medicine, University of Wisconsin Medical School, and Professor of Pharmaceutics, University of Wisconsin School of Pharmacy, Madison. Widely considered the founder of the field of pharmacodynamics for his studies of the complex relationships between the infecting pathogen and the antimicrobial agent, Dr. Craig is also known for a host of important findings on antimicrobial pharmacology. He also demonstrated that increasing the levels of a drug may not increase the rate of bactericidal activity. Such findings are of crucial importance for clinicians treating drug-resistant organisms, who must decide how to structure dosing regimens for different classes of antibiotics.
