Richard Heyman
Founder, Aragon and Seragon
A nominator comments: “Using selective nuclear hormone receptor modulators Dr. Heyman pioneered a very lean R&D strategy, which yielded the sale of Aragon to J&J for over $1billion in 2013 and Seragon to Roche for $1.7 billion in 2014...The class of drugs developed by Dr. Heyman was developed by rational drug design and to my knowledge are the first successful efforts to modulate these receptors in specific ways.”
