James Newell Stannard (2 January 1910 – 19 September 2005) is a radiobiologist, pharmacologist and physiologist at the National Institutes of Health.[1] [2]
The Atomic Energy Project at the University of Rochester was a graduate teaching program. The project had three divisions. William Freer Bale headed the Radiology and Biophysics division that worked largely on radioactive materials—for example, radium, radon, plutonium, and polonium. Stannard was responsible for 2 sections, the Radiation Toxicology section and the Radioautography section. Harold Hodge headed the Pharmacology and Toxicology division that focused on Uranium including inhalation studies. Joe W. Howland, M.D. headed the clinically oriented Medical Services division. Herbert Mermagen worked in the Medical Physics section was a radiological physicist, known today as a health physicist.[3] [4] [5]
