He has written over 3,000 research articles, which according to an estimate could be a world record.
Maibach has served on the editorial boards of more than 30 scientific journals. He is a member of 19 professional societies, including the American Academy of Dermatology, San Francisco Dermatological Society and International Commission on Occupational Health.
He has trained in excess of 100 PhD candidates, medical students, postdocs, and fellows. Prof. Howard Maibach is a Research associate at Cancer Research Institute (since 1967); Vice Chairperson at Dermatology (since 1973); Academic Vice Chancellor at Ad Hoc Peer Review Committee (since 1983) and Chief at Occupational Dermatology Clinic, UCSF (since 1984).
Abstract
A generation ago-practical ramifications of nano chemistry captivated many- and skin. Too became involved as a possibly relevant application- for pharmacological applications- and possible toxicological implications.
The presentation will place in biologics context the tools-including strengths and limitations-that belatedly allow us to focus more clearly-on their potential clinical applications, as well as refining our toxicological evaluations.
