'''David I. Macht''' was a John Hopkins medical researcher with a number of notable achievements. In the field of toxicology, Dr. Macht was known for his work regarding phytopharmocological (using plant based methods) for determining toxicity. Dr. Macht wrote in the peer reviewed journal ''Science'' that the toxicity test used for the study on Levitical clean and unclean animals that this method was "certainly just as reliable as those gathered from animal test subjects, if not more so" (see reference below). Dr. Macht added in the ''Science'' article, "poisons elaborated or produced by animals or zoogenic poisons, are commonly much more toxic for living plant protoplam than for living animal tissues." In addition, in the field of toxicology Dr. Macht was a snake venom expert. Currently, John Hopkins honors Dr. Macht vis a vis the David I. Macht award.
