2024 Revelle Medalist: Douglas Richman

The Revelle Medal is the highest honor given by the chancellor to a retired or emeriti UC San Diego faculty member. Distinguished Professor Emeritus of Pathology and Medicine Douglas Richman is a renowned medical virologist and infectious disease physician. With a career spanning nearly half a century at UC San Diego, he has made groundbreaking contributions to the understanding and treatment of influenza virus, herpesviruses, filoviruses and HIV. He was a leader in the development of most of the antiretroviral drugs and treatment strategies during the first decades of the AIDS epidemic, and his lab was the first to identify HIV drug resistance. In addition to his interest in HIV treatment and drug resistance, his research has also focused on HIV pathogenesis, including the issues of viral latency and evolution. Richman’s work has led to the creation of several research programs at UC San Diego, including the Center for AIDS Research, the HIV Institute and the Antiviral Research Center.
