Hauser Celebration Cake (hauser_cake_small.jpg)

We have learned that the Board of Overseers has approved the promotion of Russ Hauser to Professor with tenure.

Russ has an outstanding record of achievement in research, teaching and service to the school and scientific leadership within the Harvard, national and international communities. Russ has been recognized by the University for his groundbreaking work in environmental exposures to modern chemicals, reproductive effects of environmental exposures and fetal and early life origins of chronic disease. Russ is an international leader in investigating and ameliorating the human health consequences in reproductive and development health due to environmental health exposures to phthalates, PCBs, and pesticides. His research has been important in establishing environmental policies in the United States and Europe for the use of these chemicals. He has developed innovative methods and creative approaches to studying exposures and effects of these chemicals which position Russ and our department to continue to be leaders in this field.
