Background
Louis J. Ignarro was born May 31, 1941, in Brooklyn, New York. He studied chemistry and pharmacy as an undergraduate at Columbia University and pharmacology, with a minor in cardiac physiology, at the University of Minnesota in Minneapolis, where he received a Ph.D. in 1966. Following an appointment in the Department of Pharmacology at Tulane University in New Orleans (1979-1985), he became Professor of Molecular and Medical Pharmacology at the UCLA School of Medicine in Los Angeles in 1985. In 1998, Ignarro, Robert F.
