The Sterling Drug Company has established a Visiting Professorship
in Pharmacology at Tufts University in honor of Dr. Louis Lasagna,
Professor of Pharmacology and Dean of the Sackler School of Graduate
Biomedical Sciences. Often referred to as "the father of Clinical
Pharmacology", Dr. Lasagna started the first academic division
of Clinical Pharmacology at Johns Hopkins University School of Medicine
in 1954. He has trained leaders in this field from the United States
and many foreign countries and his scientific publications number
in the hundreds.
The Sterling Company's Visiting Professor Program is designed to
promote an interchange of knowledge about pharmacology among institutions
of higher learning because pharmacology is the keystone in the development
of new, safe and effective medicines. The Department of Pharmacology
will invite a Visiting Professor annually to present major lectures
and conduct workshops with staff, students and guests.
