a position he recently assumed. A native of the New York City area, he was raised in Delaware. After receiving his Bachelor's degree (with honors in Chemistry) at the University of Delaware, he was trained in classical organometallic chemistry as he earned his Ph.D. under Professor A. Louis Allred at Northwestern University studying group IV compounds, then held postdoctoral positions at Purdue University with the late Professor R. Stuart Tobias (organogold chemistry) and a tutor and with Professor Ian Butler at McGill University (transition-metal carbonyl and nitrosyl chemistry). When he was appointed to his first faculty position at UWsMilwaukee in 1974, however, he quickly succumbed to the siren song of inorganic biochemistry, then a field in its infancy. For the last quarter of a century, he has studied the chemistry, biochemistry, and pharmacology of antiarthritic gold drugs and chemical properties of metallothioneins, a class of ubiquitous, sulfhydryl-rich, metal-binding proteins. He enjoys teaching courses from general chemistry to advanced graduate level. Away from the lab and office, he collects objects with unusual point groups and enjoys the out-of-doors. His interest in landuse planning once dedicated to protecting Lake Michigan and especially its Milwaukee Lakefront will now be transferred to the blue-greener pastures of Kentucky.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
