Abstract
A short biographical sketch of Professor David Shugar, the "father of the IPK conferences," is presented, focusing on the growing interest of this eminent scientist for protein kinases and his farsighted perception of the extraordinary therapeutic potential of protein kinase inhibitors, after his discovery in 1986 that 5,6-dichloro-1-(beta-D-ribofuranosyl)benzimidazole effects are mediated by inhibition of protein kinase CK2. This led David Shugar to conceive the idea of organizing a periodic international conference on protein kinase inhibitors ("IPK conference"). The first conference was held in 1998 and the 10th one under the auspices of International Union of Biochemistry and Molecular Biology in September 2019. David Shugar died at the age of 100 in 2015, shortly after having organized the eight IPK conference.
