| Abstract: | (CIT): Colleagues, friends and family will celebrate the life and 50-year career of NIH Scientist Emeritus John W. Daly, Ph.D., who died March 5, 2008, in Rockville, MD, at the age of 74. He had pancreatic cancer. Daly was an international leader in chemical and pharmacological research, especially in the fields of drug metabolism, biologically active natural products, and adenosine receptors. Daly expanded the boundaries of chemistry and changed the course of research in pharmacology. He was a world authority on amphibian alkaloids and expert in many areas of natural products. The twenty-six classes of alkaloids he discovered have had a major impact on knowledge of how the nervous system functions and how drugs interact with the nervous system. |
