Jared Baird receives the 2012 APhA Ebert Prize

IPPH Alumnus Jared Baird (BSPS 2006, Ph.D. 2011) received the 2012 Ebert Prize at the APhA Annual Meeting and Exposition in New Orleans in March. Established in 1873, the Ebert Prize is the oldest pharmacy award in the United States. The award recognizes the author(s) of the best report of original investigation of a medicinal substance published in the Journal of Pharmaceutical Sciences in the past year.

Baird was selected in recognition of his paper titled “A Classification System to Assess the Crystallization Tendency of Organic Molecules from Undercooled Melts,” published in the September 2010 issue of the Journal of Pharmaceutical Sciences. Baird’s paper focused on the area of amorphous pharmaceuticals and ways to gain a better understanding of their inherent instability in relation to solid dispersion products, and was his Ph.D. dissertation topic. The coauthors are Bernard Van Eerdenbrugh, PharmD, Ph.D., and Lynne S. Taylor, Ph.D.

Baird is currently a scientist in the Product Formulation Development department at Allergan, Inc.
