Alan Goldberg to Step Down as Director of CAAT

This is proving to be a momentous year for of the Johns Hopkins Center for Alternatives to Animal Testing (CAAT)—and a year of mixed emotions. On the one hand, 2006 marks the Center’s 25th anniversary. On the other hand, founding director Dr. Alan M. Goldberg has announced his intention to step down. Dr. Goldberg established CAAT in 1981, and he has served as its Director and Chairman of the Board ever since.

Dr. Goldberg has made it clear, however, that he is not retiring. He will retain his position as professor of toxicology in the Johns Hopkins Bloomberg School of Public Health, and he will continue to work with CAAT on various projects

The search for Dr. Goldberg’s successor is now underway. Application information is available here.
