First Arab Scott Awardee
Egyptian scientist Majid Abu-Gharbieh won the John Scott Award, becoming the first Arab to receive it, in recognition of his contributions to developing around 10 drugs that have reached the market and securing 145 U.S. patents. He considers the antidepressant venlafaxine his most notable achievement; more than 35 million people have benefited from it. His team also helped develop antibiotics and targeted cancer therapies. He urged Arab researchers to strengthen partnerships between universities and pharmaceutical companies, establish technology-transfer offices, and focus on diseases affecting their communities so that research findings can be turned into treatments.
