It is a honour I am feeling very honored to have received this year's American Chemical Society's (ACS) ‘Heroes of Chemistry Award’ for discovery of Bedaquiline (BDQ). The other members of our team who were recognized for this contribution are Dr. Koen Andries & Dr. Jerome Guillemont.

BDQ is the first treatment discovered in more than 40 years for drug resistant-TB and till date has been accessed by thousands of patients in more than 150 countries.

ACS is a one of America’s biggest non-profit organization chartered by the U.S. congress and this award recognizes scientists whose innovative work lead to products that benefit the world.
