A Conversation with Paul Greengard
Dr. Paul Greengard, Professor of Molecular and Cellular Neuroscience at Rockefeller University, talks about his life and career with his former student Dr. Eric Nestler, Professor and Chair of Neuroscience at the Mount Sinai School of Medicine. Dr. Greengard won the 2000 Nobel Prize in Physiology or Medicine for his work on the signaling pathways in the nervous system. He and his colleagues showed nerve cells communicate through either fast or slow synaptic transmission. Dr. Greengard discusses their discoveries and the resistance and skepticism they faced when they published the results. A transcript of this interview is available online: http://www.annualreviews.org Paul Greengard was born in New York City in 1925. After completing high school, he served three years in the US Navy during World War II and then completed his bachelor #39;s degree at Hamilton College where he majored in physics and mathematics. He obtained a PhD in biophysics from Johns Hopkins University in 1953 and pursued postdoctoral training with Wilhelm Feldberg at the National Institute for Medical Research in England. After eight years as head of biochemistry at Geigy, and sabbaticals at Albert Einstein College of Medicine and Vanderbilt University, he joined the Yale University faculty as a full professor of pharmacology in 1968. While he was at Yale, Greengard #39;s laboratory performed groundbreaking research, which demonstrated a role for cyclic nucleotides, protein kinases and protein phosphatases, and their ...
