ACS Division of Medicinal Chemistry

The MEDI Division Thanks Pat Woster!

The MEDI Division expresses its heartfelt gratitude to our Super-Volunteer, Dr. Patrick Woster, of the Medical University of South Carolina. Pat is stepping down after 25 years(and 50 consecutive National ACS Meetings!). He has served the Division as Secretary, Vice Chair, Chair, Past Chair, and Membership Chair. Pat established the MEDI website before ACS had a website, he created the Medicinal Chemistry Hall of Fame, and he has played a key role in establishing and updating our Strategic Plans over the years. Pat, we wish you all the best!
