  • Notes 
    • 1986-87 - Robert Hazelwood
      9th Farfel Recipient, Department of Biology
      Professor of Biology, Faculty Emeritus
      College of Natural Sciences and Mathematics
      Robert Hazelwood was born in Oakland, California, and received his doctorate in comparative physiology from the University of California at Davis in 1958. He worked at both Boston University's School of Medicine and the University of California at San Francisco's School of Medicine before arriving at the University of Houston in 1963.
      Dr. Hazelwood's research focused on certain aspects of diabetes. His research team at the University of Houston worked for a time in collaboration with the Kansas University Medical School, a joint effort that resulted in the discovery of a hitherto unknown hormone produced in the pancreas. Although Dr. Hazelwood is now retired, his influence is readily apparent in the work of his former graduate students, many of whom have attained top positions in industry and academic institutions. These graduate students, says Dr. Hazelwood, were one of the great pleasures of working at the University of Houston. While he misses teaching, he remains busy in retirement, traveling to Thailand during a part of each year as he has done for the last 14 years in order to teach at a medical school in Chiang Mai.
      Dr. Hazelwood received many honors during his career at the University of Houston, but the Esther Farfel Award was especially meaningful, he explains, because "it rewarded excellent work not in just one aspect of academic life, but in all areas: teaching, research, and community service. Receiving the Farfel meant that I was not overspecialized in one area or another, but rather that I was a complete academician. In that sense, it is a very special award."
