Munson at the Harvard School of Dental Medicine, he has held academic appointments in Pharmacology at Harvard Medical School, West Virginia University, University of Missouri (Pharmacology and Biochemistry), and The University of Texas Medical Branch in Galveston. In 1976, Dr. Kenny was appointed Professor and Chairman of the Department of Pharmacology and Therapeutics and Director of the Tarbox Parkinson’s Disease Institute at the Texas Tech University Health Sciences Center in Lubbock. Dr. Kenny has also held appointments in the Medical Unit, University College Hospital in London, at the Massachusetts General Hospital, and at the Sidney Farber Cancer Institute in Boston during the 1950s. It was during his association with the late Professor Charles E.
