Victor R. Preedy, Ph.D., D.Sc., F.R.C.Path., is a professor in the Department of Nutrition and Dietetics, King's College, London. He directs studies regarding protein turnover, cardiology, nutrition, and, in particular, the biochemical aspects of alcoholism. Dr. Preedy graduated in 1974 from the University of Aston with a combined honors degree in biology and physiology with pharmacology. He received his Ph.D. in 1981 in the field of nutrition and metabolism, specializing in protein turnover. In 1992, he received membership in the Royal College of Pathologists based on his published works, and in 1993 a D.Sc. degree for his outstanding contribution to the study of protein metabolism. At the time, he was one of the university's youngest recipients of this distinguished award. Dr. Preedy was elected a fellow of the Royal College of Pathologists in 2000. He has published more than 475 articles, which include more than 150 peer-reviewed manuscripts based on original research, and 70 reviews. His current major research interests include the role of alcohol in enteral nutrition and the molecular mechanisms responsible for alcoholic muscle damage. Ronald R. Watson, Ph.D., attended the University of Idaho but graduated from Brigham Young University in Provo, Utah, with a degree in chemistry in 1966. He earned his Ph.D. in biochemistry from Michigan State University in 1971. His postdoctoral schooling in nutrition and microbiology was completed at the Harvard School of Public Health, where he gained two years of postdoctoral research experience in immunology. From 1973 to 1974, Dr. Watson was assistant professor of immunology and performed research at the University of Mississippi Medical Center in Jackson. He was assistant professor of microbiology and immunology at the Indiana University Medical School from 1974 to 1978 and associate professor at Purdue University in the Department of Food and Nutrition from 1978 to 1982. In 1982, Dr. Watson joined the faculty at the
