PHILADELPHIA, PA — 16 May 2005 — The Chemical Heritage Foundation (CHF) has named Arthur Daemmrich director of its new Center for Contemporary History and Policy. In this role Daemmrich will lead CHF's effort to bring long-range perspectives to bear on key issues in innovation, globalization, risk, health, and environmental policy. The Center for Contemporary History and Policy is built on the core principles that history and policy are domains that can and should inform one another, and that CHF can serve as a neutral meeting ground and honest supplier of critical perspectives.
Daemmrich has held fellowships from the Social Science Research Council/Berlin Program for Advanced German and European Studies, the Kennedy School of Government at Harvard University, and CHF. He is the author of Pharmacopolitics: Drug Regulation in the United States and Germany and editor of R&D Meets M&A: Proceedings of the 2003 Conference on Innovation and Creativity in Chemical R&D, both published in 2004. He earned a Ph.D. in science and technology studies from Cornell University and has published on biotechnology policy and politics, the sociology of medicine, and pharmaceutical drug regulation.
