Herbert E. Stokinger Award

2007 Awardee

Herbert E. Stokinger Award is given each year to an individual who has made a significant contribution to the broad field of industrial and environmental toxicology. This year's Stokinger Award recipient is Gerald L. Kennedy, Jr., DABT.

Mr. Kennedy received his Bachelor of Science degree from the University of Notre Dame in 1964 and completed post-graduate work in biochemistry at Northwestern Medical School.

Mr. Kennedy has been a toxicologist at DuPont's Haskell Laboratory for Health and Environmental Sciences for 30 years. His primary interest at DuPont's Haskell Laboratory has been in inhalation toxicology and use of this type of information for controlling exposure to chemicals in the workplace. He has been the Chair of their internal Acceptable Exposure Level (AEL) Committee since its inception in 1977.

Before joining DuPont, he worked at Northwestern University's Pathology Department. His work there involved conduct of descriptive toxicological studies for commercial clients as well as teaching in the Biochemistry and Nutrition departments.

Mr. Kennedy joined ACGIH^Ž in 1994 and has served on the ACGIH^Ž Threshold Limit Values for Chemical Substances (TLV^Ž-CS) Committee from 1987 to the present. He is currently Co-Chair of the MISCO Subcommittee and a member of the Society of Toxicology serving on a number of administrative committees. He also consults with the National Library of Medicine as a toxicology reviewer for their Hazardous Substances Data Base activities.

Mr. Kennedy is the editor of Drug and Chemical Toxicology and serves on a number of editorial boards. He has published numerous scientific papers and textbook chapters dealing with either inhalation experiments or descriptive toxicology of industrial chemicals.

Mr. Kennedy's contributions to the field of industrial and environmental toxicology have earned him the Herbert E. Stokinger Award. The Stokinger Award will be presented to Mr. Kennedy at the Stokinger Lecture on Thursday, June 7, 2007. The lecture will be entitled "Do Rats Tell the Truth?" and will be held in Pennsylvania Convention Center, Room 204A, from 12:00 p.m. to 1:00 p.m.
