The 2011 Distinguished Graduate Faculty Lectureship Recipient
Dr. Chris Newland received a bachelor's in electrical engineering from Auburn University and a Ph.D. in experimental psychology, with minors in neurobiology and mathematics, from Georgia Tech. After a postdoctoral fellowship in environmental health sciences (now environmental medicine) at the University of Rochester, he joined the psychology department. He teaches courses in psychopharmacology, behavioral neuroscience, and basic processes in learning and conditioning. His research, which has been funded mainly by the National Institutes of Health, has emphasized the behavioral consequences of exposure to drugs and environmental contaminants that act on the brain. He was a regular member of an NIH grant review panel ("study section") and policy panels for the National Research Council, Food and Drug Administration, Environmental Protection Agency, and Centers for Disease Control to examine health hazards deriving from environmental contaminants. He was president of the Neurotoxicology Specialty Section of the Society of Toxicology, has served on several editorial boards, and is an associate editor of Neurotoxicology.
