He has pioneered the evolution of ICI 46,474 from its birth in the laboratory to what is today tamoxifen-the world's most prescribed drug for the treatment of breast cancer, and the only drug in FDA history approved for the prevention of breast cancer. Dr. Jordan is the recipient of numerous awards, including the prestigious Block Award for Distinguished Achievement in Cancer Research, the Inaugural Brinker International Award for Breast Cancer Research, and the American Society for Pharmacology and Experimental Therapeutics Award for Research on Human Disease.
