Abstract
This year's Lasker Clinical Research Award goes to James Baird Glen for the discovery and development of the anesthetic propofol. Patients benefit from its fast onset and rapid systemic clearance, eliminating the prolonged sedation effects experienced with earlier agents. In just 30 years, propofol has been adopted around the world for safe and controlled induction of anesthesia.
