    WAKEFIELD, RI, October 29, 2018 /24-7PressRelease/ -- Marquis Who's Who, the world's premier publisher of biographical profiles, is proud to present Frederick E. Varricchio, MD, Ph.D., with the Albert Nelson Marquis Lifetime Achievement Award. An accomplished listee, Dr. Varricchio 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. Varricchio was a medical officer for the Food and Drug Administration from 1991 until his retirement in 2005. There, he was involved with vaccines and vaccines' adverse events. His position was aimed specifically at developing and maintaining public confidence in the vaccines. Any time there were complaints, it was his responsibility to show that they were taking it seriously and working to evaluate the complaint. Though he is retired, he is still involved with vaccine safety. Similarly, he has been involved with the international consortium called Brighton Collaboration since 2003, where they evaluate the claims made.

Overlapping with this position, Dr. Varricchio was a lieutenant colonel and flight surgeon in the United States Air Force Reserve. From 1986 to 1990, he was a resident in pathology at Cook County Hospital in Chicago, IL. Additionally, he worked as a clinical professor of biochemistry at Loyola University School of Dentistry from 1983 to 1984, as an adjunct instructor of chemistry at the College of DuPage in Illinois from 1980 to 1985, and as a resident associate at the Argonne National Laboratory in Illinois from 1980 to 1984. Earlier in his career, he worked as a faculty research participant at Oak Ridge National Laboratory from 1979 to 1983.

Dr. Varricchio was a professor and chairman in the chemistry department at National College in Lombard, IL, from 1980 to 1983. Furthermore, he was a visiting professor at the Max-Planck-Institut für Ernährungsphysiologie in Dortmund, Germany, in 1979 and an associate professor and director of graduate studies at the Life Science Center at Nova Southeastern University in Fort Lauderdale, FL, from 1977 to 1979. His first professional position was as an associate in experimental pathology at the Memorial Sloan Kettering Cancer Center in New York City from 1972 to 1977. He is immensely proud of the work he completed with the cancer center.

Dr. Varricchio's academic pursuits began at the University of Maine, where he earned a Bachelor of Science in chemistry in 1960. He then attended the University of North Dakota, where he obtained a Master of Science in biochemistry in 1964. He continued his studies at the University of Maryland, where he earned a Doctor of Philosophy in 1966. Ultimately, he received a Doctor of Medicine from the Autonomous University of Ciudad Juarez in Mexico in 1986. His involvement in science and medicine wasn't because of one poignant moment of inspiration, but rather he had a deep interest in subjects in which he happened to be very skilled.

As a trusted professional in the field, Dr. Varricchio has had the opportunity to contribute and publish approximately 90 articles in various professional journals. Additionally, he holds membership with the American Chemical Society, the American Association for Cancer Research, the American Association of Pathologists and the American Society of Biological Chemists. Beyond these, he is a member of Sigma Chi, where he was secretary of the New York City alumni chapter in 1977, and Sigma Xi.

Throughout his career, Dr. Varricchio has been awarded such honors as a fellowship with the German Academic Exchange Service in 1979 and the American Cancer Society at the Albert Ludwig University of Freiburg in Germany from 1966 to 1967. Also through the American Cancer Society, he was involved at the Institute of Molecular Biology at the French National Research Center in Marseille, France, from 1967 to 1969.
