Edward C. (Ted) Taylor (1923-[1]) is an American chemist who developed the chemotherapy drug pemetrexed (brand name Alimta). As of 2009, royalties for this drug paid to Princeton University were sufficient to completely finance a state-of-the-art 263,000-square-foot (24,400 m2) chemistry laboratory building.[2]
In 2006 Taylor was named a Hero of Chemistry by the American Chemical Society.
