The Society of Toxicology and The Burroughs Wellcome Fund announce the selection of the 1983 Burroughs Wellcome Scholar in Toxicology. The Award of $200,000 is made to Robert Craig Schnell, Ph.D., on behalf of the University of Nebraska Medical Center. Payable over a 5-year period, the Award is designed to support the career development of toxicologists and to stimulate teaching, training, and research in academic institutions that have made a commitment to Toxicology as a basic science.
Dr. Schnell has a degree in Pharmacy and obtained his doctorate in Pharmacology and Toxicology from Purdue University in 1969.

He currently is Professor and Chairman of the Department of Pharmacodynamics and Toxicology in the College of Pharmacy and an adjunct professor at the Eppley Institute for Cancer Research.

Dr. Schnell is on the editorial boards of three journals. He has authored over 100 papers, abstracts, and review articles. At the national level, Dr. Schnell has advanced the interests of toxicology by serving as a consultant for the National Institute for Occupational Safety and Health, on the Subcommittee on Toxicology for the National Academy of Science, on several committees within the Society of Toxicology, and on the Program Committee for the Third International Union of Toxicology Meeting.
