Patricia Kroboth, dean and Dr. Gordon J. Vanscoy Distinguished Service Professor of Pharmaceutical Sciences, was awarded the distinction of Fellow during the American Association for the Advancement of Science annual meeting in Washington, D.C., on Feb. 13, 2016. Kroboth has been elevated to this rank because of her efforts toward advancing science applications that are deemed scientifically or socially distinguished.
Kroboth was recognized for “distinguished contributions using pharmacodynamics to explain variability in response to drugs, and for excellence in administrative contributions as center director, department chair, and dean,” AAAS said.
Prior to becoming dean, she explored basic functions and clinical applications of modulation of the GABA receptor and the family of ligand drugs, the benzodiazepines. Kroboth was founding director of what became one of the country’s first Clinical Pharmaceutical Scientist PhD Programs, which continues today. She served serially as chair of the School of Pharmacy’s Department of Pharmacy and Therapeutics and the Department of Pharmaceutical Sciences, before being named dean of the school in 2002.
