Congratulations to Professor Chun-che Tsai, who is retiring from the Department after 37 years of service. Professor Tsai taught a wide range of classes from first-year undergraduate courses through the graduate level, focusing especially on biochemistry. In recent years, much of Professor Tsai's teaching was at the introductory level, where he taught literally thousands of pre-nursing and other allied health students.
Professor Tsai performed anti-cancer drug research in conjunction with Summa Health System in Akron, OH. He has directed six doctoral dissertations and fourteen masters theses to completion, as well as a number of senior honors theses.
His colleagues celebrated his retirement with his family and friends in the Department on September 3, 2013.
