The Institute of Pharmaceutical Innovation

Monday 26th November, 2007 RPSGB and RSC honour Prof. Jamshed Anwar

Prof. Jamshed Anwar has been simultaneously designated a Fellow of both the Royal Pharmaceutical Society of Great Britain and the Royal Society of Chemistry for recognition of his contribution to the pharmaceutical sciences and chemistry. Jamshed Anwar is a Professor of Computational Pharmaceutical Sciences at the Institute of Pharmaceutical Innovation (IPI), University of Bradford. He is a pioneer in developing and applying in-silico (computer modeling) methods to problems in drug delivery. This methodology aims to predict the behaviour of pharmaceutical systems and processes, leading to fewer experiments and the possibility of accelerating drug development with minimum effort. Prof. Anwar has a degree in Pharmacy, and a PhD in Chemical Physics/Crystallography from Birkbeck College London, University of London.
Prior to his appointment at the IPI, he was at King’s College London and has also spent periods at the University of Pennsylvania, USA, and the Institute of Atomic & Molecular Physics (AMOLF) in the Netherlands. Earlier in his career he held a Laboratory Leader’s position with Glaxo Group Research (now GSK). He was awarded the Pfizer Award in 1999 for his seminal studies on molecular simulations of pharmaceutical systems, and is also a recipient of the RP Scherer Award (1986).
