About
Bruce D. Hammock is a pioneering figure at the intersection of chemical biology, toxicology, and environmental health. His research primarily focuses on the discovery and development of inhibitors for the soluble epoxide hydrolase (sEH) enzyme, a key regulator of inflammation and blood pressure. Hammock’s major contributions include elucidating the role of sEH in metabolizing bioactive lipid mediators, leading to the creation of potent sEH inhibitors that show promise for treating hypertension, pain, and inflammatory diseases. With over 1,000 publications and more than 50,000 citations, his work has profoundly impacted both basic science and translational medicine. Notably, he holds numerous patents and has received prestigious awards, including the NIH MERIT Award and the E. B. Hershberg Award for Important Discoveries in Medicinally Active Substances. Hammock’s innovative approach, from fundamental enzymology to practical therapeutic applications, continues to inspire researchers in drug discovery and environmental toxicology.
