Biography
Howard A. Schneiderman was an eminent developmental biologist, chief scientist and senior vice-president for research and
development at the Monsanto Corporation, and dean and professor of the School of Biological Sciences at the University of
California, Irvine.
Howard Schneiderman was born on February 9, 1927, in Brooklyn, New York to Anna Grace Center and Louis Schneiderman. Schneiderman
entered Swarthmore College in 1944, graduating with a B.A. in Mathematics in 1948 after joining the Navy and entering the
Naval Reserve Officer Training Program at Columbia University in 1945. In 1952, he received his Ph.D. in Physiology from Harvard
University where he was also a Teaching Fellow. He received his first professional appointment at Cornell University where
he taught from 1953 until 1961. At Cornell, he taught zoology and continued his research on discontinuous respiration, which
he discovered while at Harvard.
From 1961 to 1969, Schneiderman was employed as a professor at Case Western Reserve University in Cleveland, Ohio. His research
included genetic studies of the development mechanisms of the Drosophila (fruit fly). During his tenure he became Director
and Chairman of the Developmental Biology Center and was named Jared Potter Kirtland Distinguished Professor. In 1969, he
resigned from Case Western to join the faculty at UCI.
Howard Schneiderman had a long career in authoring and editing scholarly publications. He published the biology textbook
ELMS (Ebert, Loewy, Miller, Schneiderman) in 1973 at Holt Reinhart and Winston with co-editors Jim Ebert, Ariel Loewy and Richard
Miller. He was American Editor of
Wilhelm Roux's Archives, worked for
Developmental Biology, and was a member of the editorial boards of
Current Topics in Comparative Biology,
Current Topics in Developmental Biology,
Journal of Chemical Ecology,
Journal of Experimental Zoology,
General and Comparative Endocrinology,
American Naturalist ,
Bio-Science,
American Zoologist,
Developmental Biology and
Biological Bulletin.
At UCI, Schneiderman became Dean of the School of Biological Sciences. While at UCI, he was responsible for developing the
Center for Pathobiology Department within the School of Biological Sciences while he continued to teach courses in the biological
sciences.
In 1979, Schneiderman accepted the position of Senior Vice President for Research and Development at the Monsanto Corporation
in St. Louis, Missouri, while retaining an on-leave appointment at UCI. At Monsanto, he was responsible for building a new
program in biotechnology. In order to enhance corporate research, Schneiderman also established a system of collaboration
with Washington University, St. Louis, Missouri, where he was also employed as an Adjunct Professor.
Schneiderman was acknowledged for his distinguished career numerous times. He was elected to the National Academy of Sciences,
appointed to the National Science Board and received a number of awards and honorary degrees from institutions such as Swarthmore,
LaSalle College and UCI. After a long bout with leukemia, Howard Schneiderman died in December 1990.
A 95-page autobiography was published posthumously by the Monsanto Company in 1990 and is included in the collection in the
biographical and memorial materials series.
