Dr Richard Korsmeyer (MS '80. PhD '83), Global Head of Licensing,
Worldwide Pharmaceutical Sciences, Pfizer, was inducted a Fellow
of AIMBE on February 21, 2008. Richard was the first graduate student
of the laboratory who worked on controlled release and drug delivery.
He joined our laboratory in January 1979, fresh from a BS in Chemistry
from Vanderbilt University, and continued the pioneering work that
Robert Gurny, then a postdoc at Purdue (1977-79) and presently dean
of pharmacy at the University of Geneva, Switzerland, had started
earlier. Richard was instrumental in developing the first functional
swelling-controlled release systems (based on poly(vinyl alcohol).
In 1981 he was the first PhD student that went for an internship
abroad, at the University of Geneva, thus starting a long tradition
of international relations that has continued until today. During
that time Korsmeyer and Peppas developed the well known exponential
equation for drug delivery analysis from swellable systems. (February
