This honor is being bestowed on Professor Stella because of his numerous and significant contributions to research, teaching, and service in the pharmaceutical sciences.

I am very pleased to announce that the Editorial Team for the Journal of Pharmaceutical Sciences (JPharmSci) has decided to dedicate a future issue of the journal to Professor Valentino J. Stella and to the science that he has loved and fostered throughout his professional career. Professor Stella is currently a University Distinguished Professor in the Department of Pharmaceutical Chemistry at The University of Kansas in Lawrence, Kansas. This honor is being bestowed on Professor Stella because of his numerous and significant contributions to research, teaching, and service in the pharmaceutical sciences. During his long and very productive career, Professor Stella’s contributions to the pharmaceutical sciences have included: (1) the novelty and originality of his basic research programs; (2) his success in translating the findings from these basic research programs into products that are being used clinically and commercially to treat humans; (3) the impact of his basic and applied research findings on industrial scientists who are responsible for discovering drugs and for developing drug formulations; (4) his dedication to teaching professional pharmacy students, graduate students, postdoctoral fellows, and visiting scientists; and (5) his commitment to mentoring young scientists. Professor Stella’s basic and applied research interests have been largely focused in four major areas: (1) the application of the principles of physical organic chemistry to address issues of chemical instability of drugs, (2) the application of the principles of physical chemistry to develop methods for the solubilization of small molecule drugs, (3) the application of
