چکیده
On December 23, 2015, Alfred Goodman Gilman died peacefully at home after a long battle with pancreatic cancer. Though Al was one of the great scientific minds of the past 50 years and is best known for his discovery of guanine nucleotide-binding regulatory proteins (G proteins), anyone who trained or worked closely with Al knew him as much more than that. His greatness extended equally to scientific leadership, mentorship of young scientists, and a relentless pursuit of scientific discovery. Basic science and its application to pharmacology were in Alfred Goodman Gilman’s blood from birth. Al was born on July 1, 1941, in New Haven, CT, the same year his father, Dr. Alfred Gilman, and Dr. Louis Goodman (from whom Al received his middle name) published the first edition of the preeminent textbook, Goodman and Gilman’s The Pharmacological Basis of Therapeutics. Years later, Al would continue his father’s work as associate and senior editor of the famous textbook through four subsequent editions. Al often spent time in his father’s lab at Albert Einstein College of Medicine, where he watched experiments in action. Al’s early education was received at The Taft School in Watertown, CT, which at the time was a strict all-boys prep school. He once noted that while he did not enjoy the rigors of the experience, it did teach
