scientists in finding solutions to complex health and environmental issues caused by hazardous waste contamination. For 14 years he ran a NIH Training Grant in
Biotechnology at UC Davis for cross training in physical and biological sciences. He was also one of the founding members of the UC Davis Medical School Comprehensive Cancer Center, which started in 1991. From 2002 to 2016, Dr. Hammock served as the director of the UC Davis's National Institute of Health Biotechnology Training Program and the National Institute of Environmental Health Sciences Combined Analytical Laboratory at UC Davis. He was one of the founding board members of UCDMC's Center for Pain Relief — members of Dr. Hammock founded three companies: Synthia (2015) to assist students and postgraduates with technology transfer, Arete Therapeutics (2003), and EicOsis (2011) in pharmaceutical development to move soluble epoxide hydrolase inhibitors into the clinic.

developed the hypothesis that degradation of chemical mediators was important in physiology. In insects this led to the development of recombinant viral insecticides and in mammals to a new target for control of pain and inflammation in man and companion animals. At UC Riverside he continued the above work and also pioneered the use of immunoassays for monitoring human and environmental exposure to pesticides and remains a leader in the field.

In addition, his lab pioneered immunoassay techniques for analyzing both humans and environmental exposure to pesticides and other contaminants.

He found another hydrolytic enzyme important in insect development that also controlled key biological functions in mammals. His laboratory developed transition state inhibitors of this

Throughout his career, Dr. Hammock explored diverse research areas including insect physiology, toxicology, pharmacology, and experimental therapeutics. In his Ph.D. he studied both basic insect developmental biology and the development of ‘green pesticides’ based on insect hormones. It was here he

From 1986 to 1987, Dr. Hammock served as the
Pharmacology and Toxicology Graduate Group Chair in UC Davis. In 1987, Dr. Hammock became the director of the Nation's first Superfund Research Program at UC Davis and ran the program for over 35 years. This is a fund that supports interdisciplinary
