On the recordMarch 25, 2026
I rise to honor Dr. Philip Low, a remarkable scientist and teacher from Purdue University, who worked on breakthrough studies in drug discovery and cancer research. Dr. Low recently passed away at the age of 78. In his career, he served as Purdue University's Presidential Scholar for Drug Discovery and the Ralph C. Corley Distinguished Professor of Chemistry. He held over 100 U.S. patents and is listed on 600 other patents and 145 invention disclosures. He received some of the highest honors that can be given by Purdue University. Those who knew him well said ``he cared about everybody,'' and ``he spent every minute trying to do good.'' He certainly did, and his work truly helped save lives. I offer my condolences to his family and friends during this time. Dr. Low was an outstanding Hoosier. May he rest in peace.
