Ferid Murad >> Back The Nobel Prize in Medicine 1998 was awarded jointly to Robert F Furchgott, Louis J Ignarro and Ferid Murad for their discoveries concerning "nitric oxide as a signaling molecule in the cardiovascular system". Brief Introduction Ferid Murad, M.D., Ph.D. is Director of the Institute of Molecular Medicine for the Prevention of Human Diseases, the John S. Dunn, Sr. Distinguished Chair in Physiology and Medicine, and Chairman of the Department of Integrative Biology and Pharmacology at the University of Texas-Houston Medical School. He completed his undergraduate work at DePauw University and received his M.D. and Ph.D. from Case Western Reserve University.
Dr. Murad has been active in both academic medicine and industry throughout his distinguished career. His work has concentrated on the field of cell signaling or signal transduction systems. In 1998, Dr. Murad received the Nobel Prize in Medicine for his work with nitric oxide - a colorless, odorless gas that signals blood vessels to relax and widen, which in turn lowers blood pressure. He continues research which leads to a better understanding of how information is transmitted between cells.

Nobel Laureate to Present Lecture at UK By Maureen McArthur Ferid Murad, M.D., Ph.D., 1998 Nobel Laureate in Physiology/Medicine will give the William R.

Martin Visiting Professor Lecture entitled "Cellular Signaling with Nitric Oxide and Cyclic GMP" at 3 p.m. Thursday, April 29, 1999, in the UK Hospital auditorium (HG-611). Murad and his colleagues received the Nobel Prize for their discovery that nitric oxide, a colorless and odorless gas, lowers blood pressure by acting as a signal to blood vessels to relax and widen. This property of nitric oxide has applications ranging from treatment of heart disease to reducing the possibility of pulmonary hypertension, a life-threatening condition in premature babies. For more than 30 years, Murad has been cited for advancing the understanding of biochemical mechanisms in numerous cell types and tissues, including the roles of cyclic GMP and nitric oxide.

The rare opportunity came to Dr. Waldman when he and his family were invited by one of the Nobel recipients, Ferid Murad, MD, PhD, Professor and Chairman, Department of Integrative Biology and Pharmacology, University of Texas-Houston Medical School. Dr. Murad is one of three 1998 Nobel Laureates in Physiology or Medicine. He delivered the 1998 William Potter Lecture on Student Research Day at Jefferson last spring and will deliver the 1999 Rehfuss Lecture on October 7. When Dr. Murad invited Dr. Waldman, his wife, Tess, and two sons, Jacob, 18, and Zachary, 15, to join him and his own family for Nobel Week, Dr. Waldman eagerly accepted. The prizes, first awarded in 1901, are presented on December 10, the anniversary of the death of Alfred Nobel. The Swedish industrialist invented dynamite and endowed the prizes in his will.

Vol. 20, No. 19 October 15, 1998 Dr. Ferid Murad Awarded Nobel Prize in Medicine Ferid Murad, M.D., Ph.D., and two other U.S. pharmacologists have been named the winners of this year's Nobel Prize in Medicine. They received the award for their discoveries about the functions of nitric oxide - a colorless, odorless gas - in the human body. Dr. Murad, chairman of the department of integrative biology, pharmacology and physiology at The University of Texas-Houston Medical School, got the news at 4 a.m. on Monday, October 12, when the secretary of the Nobel Prize committee notified him by phone. He recounted the events later that morning at a press conference where he said he hadn't had time to let the news absorb yet, but described his reaction as "delighted and excited." "It is fantastic to be recognized by one's peers," said Dr. Murad. "And this is a sign, too, that UT-Houston is maturing as a research institution. I hope this award benefits the institution." Dr. Murad, who came to the UT-Houston Medical School in April 1997, has conducted research on nitric oxide since he was at the University of Virginia in the mid-1970s. The discoveries about nitric oxide's effects on the human body have many medical applications. For example, researchers now know that nitric oxide sends cues to smooth muscle cells in blood vessels signaling them to relax and widen, an action which lowers blood pressure. This finding may have an important impact on the treatment of heart disease.

(Photos by Roger Widmeyer and
Kristina Van Arsdel) "Even as a kid, I planned to be a doctor. But in college, the research was just too exciting, and I knew that it would always have to be a part of my life," says Dr. Ferid Murad, co-recipient of the 1998 Nobel Prize for Physiology or Medicine and chairman of the integrative biology, pharmacology and physiology department at The University of Texas-Houston Medical School. Research has indeed been a part of his life, and it appears that his research may have some very real benefits on everyone else's life. For Ferid Murad, life 'as a kid' was pretty good in Whiting, Indiana. "We had a great childhood," says Dr. Murad's lifelong friend Ronald Delismon, a retired Boeing engineer who spoke with the News from his home in Seattle. The two began their friendship in elementary school. "I guess we competed in about everything - test scores, grades," says Delismon. "Just about everything became a game. We were bright enough so that we didn't have to work very hard at our grades. At lunch we would race each other at crossword puzzles. But the classes at Whiting High School were wonderful. Very small student-teacher ratio, so that in trigonometry we'd have maybe 15 kids." Murad loved math games. He waited tables at the restaurant his parents owned and would calculate in his head the total bill for each table before the check arrived.

for their discoveries concerning "nitric oxide (NO) as a signalling molecule in the cardiovascular system". NO has been proven to improve sexual performance in both men and women.
Summary
Nitric oxide (NO) is a gas that transmits signals in the organism. Signal transmission by a gas that is produced by one cell, penetrates through membranes and regulates the function of another cell represents an entirely new principle for signalling in biological systems. The discoverers of NO as a signal molecule are awarded this year's Nobel Prize. Robert F Furchgott Biography ) pharmacologist in New York, studied the effect of drugs on blood vessels but often achieved contradictory results. The same drug sometimes caused a contraction and at other occasions a dilatation. Furchgott wondered if the variation could depend on whether the surface cells (the endothelium) inside the blood vessels were intact or damaged. In 1980, he demonstrated in an ingenious experiment that acetylcholine dilated blood vessels only if the endothelium was intact. He concluded that blood vessels are dilated because the endothelial cells produce an unknown signal molecule that makes vascular smooth muscle cells relax. He called this signal molecule EDRF, the endothelium-derived relaxing factor, and his findings led to a quest to identify the factor.

Potent research earns Nobel

The prize is given on the anniversary of the death of Alfred Nobel
The fundamental science that led to the anti-impotence drug Viagra has earned three US pharmacologists a Nobel prize. Robert Furchgott, Louis Ignarro and Ferid Murad have won the 1998 Nobel Prize in Physiology or Medicine for their work on the role played by nitric oxide in transporting signals around the body's cardiovascular system - the heart and the network of blood vessels. The scientists pieced together the evidence that proved nitric oxide, a gas, was the molecule regulating blood pressure and blood flow. Viagra boosts the effects of the gas The pharmaceutical company Pfizer used this discovery to develop its wonder drug Viagra. The blue diamond-shaped pills boost the effects of nitric oxide in a man's body, helping him to achieve erection by dilating the blood vessels in his penis. The Swedish Karolinska Institute, which judges the prestigious Nobel award, said in its citation: "It was a sensation that the simple, common air pollutant [nitric oxide], which is formed when nitrogen burns...could exert important functions in the organism." New drugs The research promises a new generation of drugs to tackle a variety of problems in the cardiovascular system.
