Dr. Lourdes Cruz is recognized for her contributions to the biochemistry of conotoxins. Using the venom from Conus marine snails, her work on biologically active peptides contributed to the development of conotoxins as biochemical probes for examining the activities of the brain.

For her achievement in science, Dr. Cruz is recipient of the NAST Outstanding Young Scientist Award (1981), the NRCP Achievement Award in Chemistry (1982) and the Outstanding Women in the Nation's Service Award(Biochemistry) (1986).
