ASP Member Takes the Fork in the Road

by Craig Hopp, PhD

This article appears in the ASP Newsletter Volume 61, Issue 1.

Being a Program Officer at NCCIH for the past 16 years has been the most rewarding job I have ever held. The ability to shape priorities and support the ASP research community was enormously gratifying. During my tenure I watched as the number of ASP presentations and posters acknowledging NCCIH support went from minimal to substantial. Despite my high job satisfaction, I have always maintained a variety of interests and activities outside of my job with NCCIH. Additionally, the work environment has taken a dramatic turn for the worse recently. So, when presented with the “fork in the road” from the current administration, I decided to take the offer. As of March 7, I am no longer a federal employee.

Hot Topics in Pharmacognosy: What’s Old Is New Again

by David J. Newman, DPhil

This article appears in the ASP Newsletter Volume 61, Issue 1.

This column will cover a variety of topics culled from a number of recent publications including: potential methodologies against resistant microbes involved in biofilms; recent reports on boron-containing potential antibiotics, some old, some new; organo-metallic (ferrocene-containing) against fungi and neglected tropical diseases (NTDs); a short excursion into the genetics of didemnin B production; and finally a very interesting protein kinase inhibitor, from a marine sample collected under the NCI’s marine collection program, further fractionated under the later NCI’s Program for Natural Products Discovery (NPNPD), and then synthesized-yielding aplithianines A and B.
