Victor J. Hruby, a Regents' Professor of chemistry, received the Innovator of the Year Award. His research, which has consisted of a several long-term collaborations with biologists and medical researchers, has focused on the role of proteins and peptides in cell processes in healthy and diseased states. His research group is working to develop new synthetic methodologies related to detection and treatment of cancers and other diseases. Hruby was a founding scientist of the Selectide Corporation, a pharmaceutical development company. His passion for teaching is strong, and he says, "I will always come back to the students. I love to work with students. That's why I'm a professor."
The sixth annual Innovation Day on March 26, 2009, celebrated The University of Arizona's success in technology development and innovation by showcasing the research achievements of students, staff and faculty, especially those who have successfully translated original and innovative technology ideas from the laboratory to the marketplace or are on track to do so. Among those recognized during the daylong celebration were five "Leading Edge Researchers," honored at a morning awards ceremony in the Student Union Memorial Center's Gallagher Theater.
