Ian P. Stolerman, Ph.D.Professor, Institute of Psychiatry

Ian Stolerman is Professor of Behavioural

Pharmacology at the Institute of

Psychiatry, King's College London. He

qualified in Pharmacy in 1964 and

received a Ph.D. in psychopharmacology

(University of London). His postdoctoral

experience was at the Albert Einstein

College of Medicine (NY) and UCLA. He

became a member of the UK Medical

Research Council Scientific Staff in 1974

and in 1980 moved to the Institute of

Psychiatry, London. He is known best for

his MRC-supported research on nicotine,

an area in which he has worked for over

30 years. He has also carried out NIDA-supported work on the discrimination of abused

drug mixtures and on the drug discrimination database. He was a founder and first

President of the European Behavioural Pharmacology Society and subsequently served

as President of the Society for Stimulus Properties of Drugs and of the International

Society of Addiction Journal Editors. He was a member of the editorial boards of, and was

a receiving editor for, several journals until, in 1992, he became Associate Editor of Drug

and Alcohol Dependence. He was responsible for all manuscripts originating from outside

the Americas and, from that time onwards, editorial duties played a major role in his

working life.

Conan Kornetsky, Ph.D.Professor, Boston UniversitySchool of Medicine

Dr. Conan Kornetsky was born February

9, 1926 in Portland, Maine. He graduated

in 1943 from Portland High School, in

1948 from the University of Maine and in

1944-45 served in the Army Air Corps. He

received his Ph.D. in psychology in 1952

from the University of Kentucky,

Lexington. Throughout his graduate

program at the University of Kentucky, he

worked in the Clinical Psychology

Department and the Research

Department of the USPHS Hospital in

Lexington. His research was under the

direction of Harris Isbell, Abraham Wikler and Harris Hill. In 1952-53, under the auspices

of NIMH, he with Donald Gerard studied juvenile drug addiction in New York City and with

Murray Jarvik, 1953-54, did experiments on the effects of LSD. In 1954 he moved to NIH

in Seymour Kety's Laboratory of Clinical Science where he studied behavioral effects of

the newly emerging psychotherapeutic drugs in normal and schizophrenic subjects. In

1959, his tenure began at Boston University School of Medicine. There he continued his

studies of schizophrenia as well as experiments on tolerance to opiates, often

collaborating with Joseph Cochin. In the 1970's his work began to focus on the brain

reward system and how it was affected by substances of abuse. During the past couple

of years he has directed his studies to the role of aging in response to substances of

abuse.

Nathan B. Eddy AwardMeritorious Service Award

Brian VastagAssociate News Editor, JAMA

Before becoming associate news editor

at JAMA in 2000, Brian Vastag worked as

a press officer for the National Cancer

Institute and Johns Hopkins Medical

Institutions. During his four years at

JAMA in Washington, DC, Mr. Vastag

wrote countless news briefs and some

100 feature articles, including profiles of

top scientists and examinations of the

social impact of biomedical advances.

He covered extensively the National

Institutes of Health and Capitol Hill. As a

freelance science journalist, Mr. Vastag specializes in addiction, brain sciences, cancer,

and genetics, but covers the entire breadth of biomedical research. He began his career

writing about space science, anthropology, evolutionary biology, sociology, and

psychology. Mr. Vastag's training includes 18 months of graduate coursework in science

and technology journalism at Texas A&M University, graduate courses in genomics and

bioinformatics at George Washington University, and countless hours listening to some of

the smartest people on earth.

Linda A. Dykstra, Ph.D.Kenan Professor, University of North Carolina

Dr. Linda Dykstra is a Kenan

Distinguished Professor in the

Departments of Psychology and

Pharmacology and the Curriculum in

Neurobiology at the University of North

Carolina at Chapel Hill. She is also Dean

of the Graduate School. Dr. Dykstra

received her M.A. and Ph.D. from the

University of Chicago and her B.A. from Hope College in Holland, Michigan. Dr. Dykstra

has been the major research advisor for a large number of predoctoral and postdoctoral

fellows and has directed a NIDA-supported training program in research related to drug

abuse for the last 15 years. She also directs NIGMS Bridge program that is designed to

encourage students from underrepresented groups to pursue doctoral training in the

biomedical sciences. For over 30 years, Dr. Dykstra has led an active research program,

focusing on the behavioral pharmacology of opioid analgesics, both in relation to their

pain-relieving properties as well as their tendency to produce tolerance and dependence.

A more recent research interest of her laboratory is the investigation of behavioral

phenotypes related to substance abuse using genetically altered mice. She has received

continuous support for her research from the National Institute on Drug Abuse since 1977

and has been recognized with a Research Career Development Award, a Research

Scientist Award and a MERIT award for her research contributions. Dr. Dykstra has held

several professional leadership positions, including being President of the College on

Problems of Drug Dependence. She is an elected member of the American College of

Neuropsychopharmacology and currently serves as Chair of the Behavioral

Pharmacology Division of the American Society of Pharmacology and Experimental

Therapeutics and as Vice-President/President of the North Carolina Association of

Biomedical Research.

James K. Rowlett, Ph.D.Harvard Medical School

Dr. James K. Rowlett received his

undergraduate degree from Morehead

State University (1988), where he first

obtained research experience under the

guidance of Dr. Bruce A. Mattingly. In

1993, he received a Ph.D. in psychology

from the University of Kentucky under the

mentorship of Dr. Michael T. Bardo. Dr.

Rowlett then joined the laboratory of Dr.

William L. Woolverton at the University of

Mississippi Medical Center and received

training in primate models of stimulant

and anxiolytic abuse. In 1997, Dr. Rowlett

moved to the New England Primate

Research Center (NEPRC) as an

Instructor in the Department of Psychiatry

at Harvard Medical School under the mentorship of Dr. Roger D. Spealman. At NEPRC,

he initiated research programs on anxiolytic, stimulant, and polydrug abuse. Currently, Dr.

Rowlett is an Assistant Professor and Supervisor of the Behavioral Pharmacology

Laboratory in the Division of Behavioral Biology at NEPRC, as well as an Associate

Scientist in the Neuroscience and Behavior Program of the University of Massachusetts

at Amherst. He has been a member of CPDD since 1994 and is a former CPDD Travel

Award recipient. Dr. Rowlett is the author or co-author of more than 75 articles, reviews,

and book chapters on research related to drug abuse and neuropsychiatric disorders.

Joseph Cochin Young Investigator Award

Thomas E. Eissenberg, Ph.D.Associate Professor, Virginia Commonwealth University

Dr. Thomas Eissenberg, Associate Professor in Virginia Commonwealth University's

Department of Psychology and Institute for Drug and Alcohol Studies, obtained his

doctorate in experimental psychology in 1994 from McMaster University in Hamilton,

Ontario. He then spent two years as a postdoctoral fellow in the Behavioral Pharmacology

Research Unit at the Johns Hopkins University School of Medicine before joining the VCU

faculty in 1997. At VCU, Dr. Eissenberg's research involves understanding how gender

and pharmacologic and associative factors influence tobacco use and tobacco/nicotine

withdrawal. Another research focus involves developing clinical laboratory methods that

can be used to predict if potential reduced-exposure products for tobacco users will

actually reduce tobacco-related disease and death. He is also involved in an international

collaboration with the Syrian Center for Tobacco Studies to investigate the short- and long-

term effects of tobacco smoking using a waterpipe. Dr. Eissenberg's work is supported by

the National Institute on Drug Abuse, the National Cancer Institute, and the Fogarty

International Center.
