About the Author

WILLIAM J. SCHULL, PhD, is currently Director of the Human Genetics Center at the University of Texas Health Science Center at Houston, where he has been the Ashbel Smith Professor of Academic Medicine since 1984. After receiving his doctorate in genetics from Ohio State University, Dr. Schull went to Japan at the age of 27 to head the Department of Genetics for the Atomic Bomb Casualty Commission. Over the years, his work with the ABCC led to his involvement in a number of critical related studies, including the Child Health Survey at Nagasaki in 1960 and the Hirado Health Survey in 1964; he was also an integral member of the Radiation Effects Research Foundation of Hiroshima, where he served as Vice Chairman and Director. Dr. Schull is recognized around the world as one of the foremost authorities on the biological effects of radiation. He has been an advisor to the Atomic Energy Commission and the Department of Energy in the United States, and the Atomic Energy Control Board of Canada. He has also advised two panels of the World Health Organization--one researching radiation and human heredity, the other investigating prenatal exposure to the nuclear accident at Chernobyl. In 1970, Dr. Schull was presented with the ABCC's Commemorative Award for his long--standing service and in 1992, was received into the Order of the Sacred Treasure by the Emperor of Japan.
