I would like to congratulate Prof. Yuichi Sugyjama as recipient for the
2003 AAPS Distiguished Award. This is the first time, that someone outside
the US has been nominated. Dr.Sugyjama is the first Japanese Scientist
who received this award.
I know Professor Y.Sugyjama as a sympathic, interested, trustable and sharply
analytically thinking scientist.
With his research in the area of pharmacokinetics, especially the science
of the transporters, Prof.Sugyjama made significant and pioneering contributions
towards the understanding of drug transport and exposure, pharmacodynamic
variability and drug drug interactions.
All PhD's of the drug metabolism department at Boehringer Ingelheim in
Biberach /Germany wish Prof.Sugyjama all the best for the coming years,
health and further success in his scientific plans to discover new mechanisms
which will definitely help to better understand the behavior of drugs in
man.
