NEW YORK, NY, January 11, 2025 /24-7PressRelease/ — Marquis Who’s Who, the world’s premier publisher of biographical profiles, is proud to present Dwight Douglas Bowman, PhD, with the Albert Nelson Marquis Lifetime Achievement Award. An accomplished listee, Dr. Bowman celebrates many years’ experience in his professional network, and has been noted for achievements, leadership qualities, and the credentials and successes he has accrued in his field. As in all Marquis Who’s Who biographical volumes, individuals profiled are selected on the basis of current reference value. Factors such as position, noteworthy accomplishments, visibility, and prominence in a field are all taken into account during the selection process.
Dr. Bowman is a tenured educator who joined Cornell University in 1987 as an assistant professor in the department of microbiology and immunology, college of veterinary medicine. Five years later, he was promoted to a full professor of parasitology, teaching various topics, including human medicine and parasitology, medical parasitology, and paleoparasitology.
Before being recruited to teach at Cornell, Dr. Bowman was a lecturer and research associate in the school of veterinary medicine at the University of Wisconsin in Madison from 1984 to 1987 and a research specialist for the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency in the department of tropical medicine at Tulane University in New Orleans between 1979 and 1984. Dr. Bowman also had the opportunity to travel extensively, teaching at veterinary schools in many countries, including Egypt, Turkey, Malaysia, Korea, and China.
As a seasoned researcher, Dr. Bowman has received ongoing corporate and federal funding to support his work in animal parasitology. Among his most notable studies, he researched the immune response of cats to concomitant infections with toxoplasmosis and feline immunodeficiency virus. He also studied the immune response of chickens to coccidiosis and worked on the causative agent of equine protozoal myeloencephalitis. Disseminating his findings, Dr. Bowman has published dozens of articles in scholarly journals. Additionally, he served in editorial roles on behalf of the American Association of Zoo Veterinarians and the Helminthological Society of Washington.
Looking toward future success, Dr. Bowman aims to find an alternative, innovative approach to the traditional method of counting worms in dogs and cats, revolutionizing how drugs are tested and making the process more ethical and humane. Rather than having to put these animals down for research purposes, he is exploring the use of capsule cameras.
Dr. Bowman graduated from Hiram College in 1974 with a Bachelor of Arts in biology, with honors, followed by a Master of Science and Doctor of Philosophy from Tulane University in 1981 and 1983, respectively. He also completed a predoctoral fellowship with the assistance of a National Institutes of Health training grant at Tulane University from 1975 to 1977.
As part of his continued commitments to the industry, Dr. Bowman is a member of the American Association for the Advancement of Science, the American Association of Zoo Veterinarians, the Helminthological Society of Washington, and the American Society of Parasitologists. He is also a member and former education committee chair of the American Association of Veterinary Parasitologists, having served in his role from 1992 to 1997.
