Witschi Delivers Merit Award Lecture
Hanspeter Witschi, who receives the 2008 Merit Award, will deliver the Merit Award Lecture “The Dose Makes the Toxicologist—Paracelsus As Seen from Switzerland” on Monday, March 17 from 12:30 PM–1:20 PM in Ballroom 6B. Dr. Witschi, Professor Emeritus, University of California, Davis, was an enthusiastic proponent of the value of mechanistic toxicology in contributing to risk assessment. He has published seminal articles in pulmonary toxicology, adaptation to toxicant exposure, second-hand smoke, and lung carcinogenesis. He made an enormous contribution to teaching and education, and was the recipient of the SOT Education Award in 1991. His service to toxicology has been exceptional as he served in many local, regional, and national offices. He is considered a complete scientist—always interested in discussing the dilemmas of toxicology and never tempted to arrive at the quick and easy conclusion.
