David P. Carew

President (1965-1966)
Deceased Honorary Member
David P. Carew is a native of Massachusetts. He became interested in pharmacognosy while he was working on an undergraduate research project at the Massachusetts College of Pharmacy, under the direction of Maynard Quimby. He received B.S. and M.S. degrees from the Massachusetts College of Pharmacy, and, in 1957, received his Ph.D. in Pharmacognosy from the University of Connecticut (UConn). His major professor at UConn was Arthur E. Schwarting. He has been on the faculty of the University of Iowa College of Pharmacy since 1957, and at present he is Emeritus Professor of Pharmacognosy. Dave was a pioneer in medicinal plant tissue culture research and secondary product metabolism. Much of his research involved members of the Apocynaceae, and with the genus Catharanthus in particular. Dave has enjoyed a lifetime with the ASP. He is a charter member as well as being a three-year member of the first Executive Committee. He later was the sixth President of the Society and has served on numerous committees. In 1991 he was recognized for his long association and contributions to the ASP by induction as an Honorary Member. (DPC)
