The Paul H. Silverman Award

In memory of Dr. Paul H. Silverman

Dr. Paul H. Silverman died on July 15, 2004. He is survived by his wife of 59 years, Nancy J. Silverman, children Daniel J. Silverman, Claire S. Clark, and five grandchildren.

Dr. Silverman held leadership positions in some of the world’s most prestigious universities, research centers and scientific companies. Born in Minneapolis, Silverman earned degrees in parasitology, immunology and genetics. Dr. Silverman helped the nation’s first human genome center in 1987. A member of UCI’s Department of Developmental and Cell Biology, Dr. Silverman was passionate about improving communication between scientists and the public.

Paul was a Renaissance man in addition to being a brilliant scientist, and his work through the Center focused on instilling reasoned discourse and scientific attitudes into matters concerning ethics and science.
