Dr Louis Ignarro, PhD
Cardiovascular Disease - L Arginine, L Citrulline, Nitric Oxide and Cell Signalling
Dr. Louis J. Ignarro was co-recipient of the 1998 Nobel Prize in Medicine
together with Dr. Robert F. Furchgott and Dr. Ferid Murad for demonstrating the
biochemical formation, actions and signaling properties of nitric oxide.
He is currently professor of pharmacology
at the UCLA School of Medicine's department of molecular and medical pharmacology
in Los Angeles, which he joined in 1985. Before relocating to California,
he was a professor of pharmacology at Tulane University School of Medicine,
New Orleans, for 12 years.
Dr. Ignarro has published numerous articles on his research. He received
the Basic Research Prize of the American Heart Association in 1998, in
recognition of his outstanding contributions to the advancement of cardiovascular
science. That same year, he was inducted into the National Academy of
Sciences and the following year, into the American Academy of Arts and
Sciences.
He is the founder of the Nitric Oxide Society, and founder and editor-in-chief
of Nitric Oxide Biology and Chemistry. Ignarro holds a B.S. in pharmacy,
Columbia University, 1962, and a Ph.D. in pharmacology, University of
Minnesota, School of Medicine, 1966. He also received a postdoctoral fellowship
in chemical pharmacology from National Institutes of Health in 1968.
