AAPS

Patrick P. DeLuca, Ph.D., professor in the faculty of Pharmaceutical Sciences at the University of Kentucky College of Pharmacy, has been elected to serve as president-elect of the American Association of Pharmaceutical Scientists (AAPS), based in Arlington, VA. He will begin his term in November of 2007 at the AAPS Annual Meeting in San Diego, CA.

AAPS executive director, John Lisack, Jr., commented, “Dr. DeLuca has been deeply involved in the association and there is no doubt in my mind that his presidential term will more than live up to the standard of excellence that has been established by his predecessors.”

As president-elect, Dr. DeLuca will join 2008 president Karen Habucky, Ph.D.; Former president Gene Fiese, Ph.D.; Treasurer, Phil Mayer, Ph.D.; and John Lisack, Jr. on the executive committee of the AAPS executive council.

Also, Peter A. Crooks, Ph.D. and David Y. Mitchell, Ph.D., have been elected to three-year terms as AAPS members-at-large. They join Robert G. Bell, Ph.D., Patrick J. McNamara, Ph.D., and Janet C. Walkow, Ph.D. as the remaining members on the 2008 AAPS executive council.
