个人简介
Toshio Narahashi, PhD, 86, passed away peacefully at home on April 21, 2013.
Beloved husband of 58 years Kyoko; loving father of Keiko (Peter Belamarich) and Taro Narahashi; cherished grandfather of Micah and Joy Belamarich; fond brother of six and uncle of many.
He was John Evans Professor of Pharmacology and served as chairman of the department of pharmacology at Northwestern University Feinberg School of Medicine from 1977 to 1994. After he received a PhD from the University of Tokyo in 1960, he came to the United States as a postdoctoral research associate at the University of Chicago in 1961 and accepted a faculty position as assistant professor at Duke University Medical Center in 1963, quickly rising to the rank of full professor and vice-chairman of the department of physiology and pharmacology.
He joined Northwestern University Medical School in 1977, assuming the chairmanship of the department of pharmacology. With his discovery of nerve blocking action of tetrodotoxin, the puffer fish poison, he established the scientific field of modern pharmacology of ion channels. In addition, he was a pioneer scientist of insecticide toxicology.
During his 12 years at Duke and 36 years at Northwestern, he published hundreds of scientific papers and trained 140 professionals, postdoctoral fellows and graduate students. Under his leadership the department at Northwestern ranked among the top tier in the United States. While serving as chair, he pursued additional research in neuropharmacology including work on alcoholism, general anesthetics, drugs for Alzheimer's and neuroprotective drugs.
Memorial service Friday, April 26, 3pm, at Prentice Women's Hospital, 250 E. Superior, 3nd floor, Canning Auditorium, Chicago.
