A pharmacology researcher at Yale earlier in his career
Pharmacology researcher William A. Creasey, who served on the Yale faculty from 1959 to 1976, died on Aug. 30 in Kent, England.
Creasey came to the United States from London during the "brain drain" of the 1950s, when there were few opportunities there. He held a D.Phil. in biochemistry from Oxford with his specialty in biochemical effects of ionizing radiations.
He worked at Yale as a postdoctoral fellow in pharmacology, eventually becoming associate professor of pharmacology. He also served as research professor of pharmacology and pediatrics at the University of Pennsylvania; associate clinical pharmacology director at E.R. Squibb & Sons; director of pharmaceuticals at VRG International; and director of biomedical information services at Information Ventures Inc. More recently he was program administrator for the American Association for Cancer Research Inc., and a consultant for the National Institutes of Health and Information Ventures Inc.
Creasey authored over 100 original articles, reviews and books on cancer, and was author or co-author of numerous extensive technical reports.
He leaves behind his wife, Stella N. Creasey of Paphos, Cyprus; a daughter, Maria Creasey-Baldwin of Salt Lake City, Utah; and two grandchildren, Corbin and Adrien.
