FALL 2012
Dr. John C. Rotschafer Wins Prestigious Russell R. Miller AwardWinning praise from his colleagues for the
profound impact of his decades of work,
Dr. John C. Rotschafer has been selected to
receive this year’s prestigious Russell R. Miller
Award from the American College of Clinical
Pharmacy (ACCP). The award is given in rec-
ognition of substantial contributions to the
literature of clinical pharmacy that advance
both clinical pharmacy practice and rational
pharmacotherapy.
John C. Rotschafer, Pharm.D., FCCP, is
professor (tenured) and former chair of ECP,
where he directs the Antibiotic Pharmacody-
namic Research Institute. Dr. Rotschafer has
supervised the postdoctoral training of 22
fellows and been awarded fellowship grants
in infectious diseases three times by ACCP
and twice by the American Society of Hospital
Pharmacists. He has been the author of more
than 150 journal publications, has made more
than 30 book contributions, and has more
than 100 scientific abstracts. His primary
interests are in the areas of antibiotic phar-
macokinetics, pharmacodynamics, antibiotic
resistance, and infectious diseases.
Those who nominated Dr. Rotschafer
praised his sustained record of publication,
the significant impact of his manuscripts
on therapeutic drug monitoring and dosing
strategies, and his anti-infective research
laboratory.
“Dr. Rotschafer’s research and publications
shape much of what we know today about the
pharmacokinetics, pharmacodynamics, and
dosing of vancomycin, aminoglycosides, and
fluoroquinolones,” said Dr. Elizabeth Herm-
sen. She noted that Dr. Rotschafer is one of
few investigators to use an anaerobic chamber
in in vitro pharmacodynamic modeling.
Dr. Keith Rodvold from the University
of Illinois College of Pharmacy agreed that
Dr. Rotschafer’s translational research
was pioneering. “His in vitro model has
allowed the evaluation of comparative
pharmacokinetic-pharmacodynamic studies
of anti-infective agents under aerobic and
anaerobic conditions.”
Dr. Rotschafer was presented with the
award on October 21 in Hollywood, Florida,
during the opening general session of ACCP’s
annual meeting. The award is named for Rus-
sell R. Miller, who was the founding editor of
ACCP’s journal, Pharmacotherapy.

Dear Friends:
As another remarkable semester draws to a close, I’m pleased to share
our department’s latest newsletter, which highlights the ongoing work and
significant accomplishments of ECP faculty, staff, and students.
In the last few months, ECP faculty have received funding for several sig-
nificant new studies in areas of neuropharmacology, the effect of drugs on
cognition, and several studies in the area of pharmacogenetics. The diversi-
ty of research conducted by our ECP colleagues not only advances the field
of experimental and clinical pharmacology, it also offers graduate students
myriad opportunities and topics to enhance their training (see page 3).
ECP faculty also provide students in the College of Pharmacy's graduate
and professional programs with some of the country's best instruction.
Further, our collaboration with peers at the University of Pittsburgh and
the University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill is an exciting, ongoing
experiment in the instruction of graduate students in clinical translational
research (see page 7).
I’m also proud to recognize the service of our faculty, who consistently
contribute a great deal of their time and attention to advancing the mis-
sions of the department and the College of Pharmacy. In particular, they
have put much effort this semester into the development of the College's
new curriculum, working alongside colleagues from other departments
to shape an innovative, cutting-edge program for tomorrow’s Pharm.D.
students.
I continue to be astounded by the level of excellence that is found within
our department. Thank you for all you do for ECP and the profession of
pharmacy. You have my warmest wishes for continued success and produc-
tivity in 2013.
