Professor Philip Gale Awarded the David Craig Medal and Lecture

Professor Philip Gale has been honored with the David Craig Medal and Lecture, a prestigious career-level award recognizing outstanding contributions to chemical research.

The award acknowledges Professor Gale’s groundbreaking work on small molecules that transport anions across cell membranes. These molecules hold promise for treating diseases like cystic fibrosis and cancer, where faulty membrane channels or disrupted anion concentrations play a role. His research focuses on designing molecules that can be activated in cancer cells, offering targeted treatment potential.
