Thomas Donnell Luckey was born in 1919 in Casper, Wyoming. He received a Bachelor of Science degree in Chemistry from Colorado State University in 1941 and both a Master's degree (1944) and a Ph.D. (1946) in Biochemistry and Nutrition from the University of Wisconsin. Luckey worked at the Laboratory of Bacteriology at the University of Notre Dame (LOBUND) from 1946 until 1954, when he was appointed Professor of Biochemistry in the University of Missouri's Medical School, serving as the department chairman for a number of years. He was also a research associate in the Space Sciences Research Center starting in 1965. Luckey retired from the University of Missouri in 1984 and moved to Loveland, Colorado, where he continued his research, publication, and speaking engagements. T. D. Luckey died in 2012 in Walnut Creek, California.
While T. D. Luckey's research interest ranged from germ-free and gnotobiotic animals to intestinal microecology, much of his research was directed toward hormesis (physiologic stimulation by low doses of a toxicant) and specifically radiation hormesis. As Luckey noted in 1985, "scientific and general acceptance of radiation hormesis, [has become] my goal in life." Most of the records in this Series reflect Luckey's interest in hormesis.
For additional records related to T. D. Luckey, see C:14/25/1 and C:14/25/7 above.
