Drs. Roland T. Skeel, professor of medicine and chair of the Biomedical Institutional Review Board, and Doug Wilkerson, vice president for research administration, College of Medicine associate dean for graduate studies, and professor of physiology and pharmacology, earned special recognition by receiving Career Achievement Awards.
Skeel, a medical oncologist, was cited for his 32-year career as an administrator, clinician, teacher, author, researcher and mentor. A former Yale University School of Medicine faculty member, he held numerous administrative posts, including president of the UT Physicians, interim College of Medicine dean, and most recently chair of the Biomedical Institutional Review Board. He is a founding member of Hospice of Northwest Ohio and has been the American Cancer Society Professor of Clinical Oncology, chair of the Cancer Control Consortium of Ohio and president of the Ohio Division of the American Cancer Society.
Recipient of numerous scientific grants from local foundations and the National Institutes of Health, the Cincinnati native has authored 55 peer-reviewed science articles and 25 textbook chapters, served on NIH study sections, and is editor of a well-known publication,
Handbook of Cancer Chemotherapy, which is in its seventh edition and has been translated into Spanish, Chinese and Japanese.
Wilkerson, a native of Wilson, N.C., joined the former Medical College of Ohio in 1979 to teach cardiovascular pharmacology to medical students. He also established a highly regarded research program that focused on the cardiovascular actions of cocaine and other drugs of abuse.
In 1991, he was named associate vice president for research and is credited with dramatically improving the administrative support for faculty members applying and winning research grants. In the process, he earned an outstanding reputation among faculty members for reliable, expert advice on research grants and funding issues. He also was lauded for his expertise in helping merge the UT and former MUO research operations.
Wilkerson, who plans to retire this year, served on numerous American Heart Association committees and NIH study sections.
