Summary: | [...]he shifted his career focus from engineering to biology, graduating from Cornell in 1961 with a major in chemistry. [...]while continuing his research on selenium biochemistry, Orville charted a new course by developing a research program in human selenium nutrition. [...]early in his career, Orville recognized that understanding the importance of selenium in human health would require determining human selenium intakes and the human selenium requirement. The laboratory hosted both U.S. and foreign colleagues, many of whom came to learn techniques from Joy, and made possible the extensive collaborations that Orville established. Because of his selenium expertise and knowledge of other nutrients, Orville served on a number of NRC and Institute of Medicine committees and panels. |
