Alberto DiMascio Memorial Lecture |
|
| |
| |
|
Each spring, the current President of the American College of Neuropsychopharmacology
(ACNP) is invited by DPET and the Department of Psychiatry to visit
and give a presentation on their recent research. The lecture series
was instituted in 1980 by the American College of Neuropsychopharmacology
in recognition of Dr. Alberto DiMascio=s service to the College
and his strong interest in teaching and in transmitting information
to workers in the Health Care System about drugs, drug actions,
and drug effects. Dr. DiMascio was an active researcher in psychopharmacology
as well as serving on many local, state, and national committees.
At the time of his death, he was Director of Psychopharmacology
for the Massachusetts Department of Mental Health at Boston State
Hospital and Professor of Psychiatry (Psychopharmacology) at the
Tufts University School of Medicine.
