HONORING THE SERVICE OF DR. WILLIAM SLIKKER, JR.
______
HON. BRUCE WESTERMAN
of arkansas
in the house of representatives
Tuesday, February 22, 2022
Mr. WESTERMAN. Madam Speaker, I rise today to celebrate the service of Dr. William Slikker, Jr., a committed servant of the U.S. Food and Drug Administration and the National Center for Toxicological Research
(NCTR) in Jefferson, Arkansas. Dr. Slikker will soon retire from his role as NCTR Director, where he served the American people and his local Arkansas community with distinction since his appointment in 2005.
Dr. William Slikker, Jr., has been a leader in his field, holding committee chairmanships or elected offices in several scientific societies including the Teratology Society and the American Society for Pharmacology and Experimental Therapeutics. He is an adjunct professor in the Department of Pediatrics and the Department of Pharmacology and Toxicology at the University of Arkansas for Medical Sciences. He has authored or co-authored over 350 publications in the areas of transplacental pharmacokinetics, developmental neurotoxicology, neuroprotection, systems biology, and risk assessment. And he recently co-edited the Second Edition of the ``Handbook of Developmental Neurotoxicology,'' which is a comprehensive and updated view of important research in the field bridging developmental neuroscience with the principles of neurotoxicology. Leaders and educators like Dr. Slikker are what make the Fourth District of Arkansas so special and why NCTR is such an exceptional institution worthy of continued support.
I take this time today to congratulate Dr. William Slikker, Jr., on his service. I thank him for his dedication to our fellow citizens and our beloved Fourth District of Arkansas, and I wish him well in his future endeavors.
