Developing MRT™ to Meet Customer Needs – IBC’s Tradition of Excellence
IBC’s long and distinguished tradition of developing and commercializing Molecular Recognition Technology™ has been recognized through receipt of numerous prestigious awards:
2024, American Chemical Society, Utah Award, Outstanding Chemist, Steven R. Izatt
This award recognizes outstanding contributions in the field of chemistry to research, technology, teaching or service to the ACS. This same award was also given to each of IBC's founders in previous years (1971 - Dr. Reed M. Izatt, 1976 - Dr. James J. Christensen, 1989 - Dr. Jerald S. Bradshaw.) Steve's award lecture discussed the role of creativity in solving complex chemical challenges such as the use of radioisotopes in targeted alpha therapy.
2024, Voltas Innovation Award, IBC, for the use of new technologies to improve current processes, increase efficiency and drive sustainability and electrification efforts.
