Rajeshwar P. Verma was born in 1966 in Barh
(India). He received his M.Sc. (1988) and
Ph.D. (1992) degrees in chemistry from
Magadh University, Bodh-Gaya. He spent a
year at the same university as a postdoctoral
fellow with Professor K. S. Sinha. He joined
Roorkee University (now IIT Roorkee) as a
research associate and worked with Professor
S.M. Sondhi (1993–1997). He also worked as
a Lecturer of Chemistry at Gurukula Kangri
University, Hardwar (1994–1995). He won a
Research Associateship Award in December
1994 from the Council of Scientific and
Industrial Research, New Delhi (India). In
1997, he moved to Pomona College to join the renowned QSAR
research group of Professor Corwin Hansch and Cynthia Selassie,
working as a postdoctoral research associate. Dr. Verma’s research
interests include the following: isolation, characterization, and synthesis
of natural products derived from medicinal plants; chemistry of
isothiocyanates; synthesis of biologically important heterocycles and
phenolic compounds; quantitative structure–activity relationships
(QSAR) and computer-assisted drug design.
Corwin Hansch received his undergraduate
education at the University of Illinois and his
Ph.D. degree in organic chemistry from New
York University in 1944. After working with
the Du Pont Co., first on the Manhattan
Project and then in Wilmington, DE, he
joined the Pomona College faculty in 1946. He
has remained at Pomona except for two sabbaticals:
one at the Federal Institute of
Technology in Zurich, Switzerland, with
Professor Prelog and the other at the University
of Munich with Professor Huisgen.
The Pomona group published the first paper
on the QSAR approach relating chemical
structure with biological activity in 1962. Since then, QSAR has
received widespread attention. He is an honorary fellow of the Royal
Society of Chemistry and recently received the ACS Award for
Computers in Chemical and Pharmaceutical Research for 1999.
