# Stuart Schreiber receives 2025 Welch Award May 16, 2025 - [ News ](/news-categories/news) The Welch Foundation has named CCB Professor Stuart L. Schreiber and Peter G. Schultz co-recipients of the 2025 Robert A. Welch Award in Chemistry. Schreiber is honored for his profound discoveries using chemical probes to understand the chemical machinery of the cell and for developing therapies based on this knowledge. Dr. Schultz, from Scripps Research, is recognized for his pioneering contributions to creating new letters in the alphabet of life, and the leveraging of chemical diversity to discover novel therapeutics and materials. The $500,000 award will be presented to each of them in October. Schreiber’s chemical innovations, including molecular glues and chemical inducers of proximity, have made it possible to understand and chemically modulate living systems. He transformed the field of chemical biology by creating and implementing broadly applicable approaches to probe, understand and ultimately control signaling pathways and gene expression in human cells. His work has had a profound impact on both basic and translational research. Dr. Schreiber is the Morris Loeb Research Professor at Harvard and currently leads Arena BioWorks, dedicated to streamlining drug development. “These two remarkable scientists have significantly advanced our ability to leverage chemical tools to affect biological systems, thus improving both health outcomes and materials science,” said Fred Brazelton, Chair and Director of The Welch Foundation. “With their broad and deep contributions to scientific knowledge and education of new generations of researchers, both are towering figures in chemistry and stellar recipients of the Welch Award.” Read more [here](https://welch1.org/news-reports/news/welch-award-2025).
