John Doull (September 13, 1922 – March 24, 2017) was Professor of Pharmacology and Toxicology at the University of Kansas.
[1] Doull served as assistant professor and associate professor at the University of Chicago, and was then recruited in 1967 to the Department of Pharmacology, Toxicology, and Therapeutics, Kansas University Medical Center (KUMC) to build a strong toxicology program.
Doull served on the council of the National Institute of Environmental Health Sciences (NIEHS) and was a member of the Presidential Clean Air Commission.
Under the leadership of Chair Edward J. Walaszek, and with the innovative programs developed by Doull, the department became pioneers in the use of computers in medical education.
This allowed the department to reduce the number of lectures and exploit more active learning strategies where faculty function more as facilitators and mentors.
