In Memoriam: Camille Georges Wermuth

摘要

Professor Wermuth passed away in September 2015. To the members of IUPAC who have had the chance and good fortune to have met him, Camille will be remembered as a distinguished gentleman. Camille made many outstanding contributions to medicinal chemistry, both in research and in supporting the subject, not least in IUPAC. He helped to establish the Medicinal Chemistry Section in 1987 and became Section President. He was President of the Chemistry and Human Division in 1998-99. He was a strong proponent for enlarging the scope of activities and promoted new initiatives through the project system. During his tenure with IUPAC, he invited and nurtured the participation of many new members. It is with gratitude and admiration that many have expressed their sadness, owing much for his leadership during those early times.
