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. Furchgott, and
Ferid Murad were jointly awarded the Nobel Prize in Physiology or Medicine for
their discoveries concerning "nitric oxide as a signaling molecule in the
cardiovascular system."
The collection consists of pictorial materials assembled for an exhibit at
UCLA by Anjay Rastogi, UCLA Department of Molecular and Medical Pharmacology,
with collaboration of the UCLA Chancellor's Office and the UCLA Biomedical
Library's History and Special Collections Division. The exhibit, entitled "Louis
J. Ignarro: The road to Stockholm: A Nobel Mission" focused on Ignarro's early
life, his research and teaching, and the Nobel ceremony and banquet. There are
twenty-one folders, the last of which is oversize and housed in the map case of
