Extractions: I was born on December 1, 1925 in Baltimore, Maryland where I attended public schools and graduated from the accelerated course at Baltimore City College , a public high school of special note because it took selected students from around the city. An all boys school, it resembled a private college preparatory school in both its scholastic standards and by giving sufficient college courses to qualify after graduation to enter the second year of a university. Special attention was given to languages (Latin, Greek, German, French); the sciences were understated. In fact, the only class in chemistry was given by a teacher who seemed to know Lavoisier personally since he was given the highest status in that course. As a result, my interests tended toward languages, especially French, which greatly influenced my direction when I entered Johns Hopkins University in 1943. On the other hand, I had acquired a great interest in chemistry despite the high school teacher. That interest was acquired through a special boyhood friendship with two individuals from my neighborhood. We were gifted students, highly competitive, and interested in math and chemistry. The three of us shared these interests throughout our boyhood and were together from elementary school to Johns Hopkins. We separated during the war when each of us went into different wartime situations. I was drafted into the Navy, the other two stayed at universities under the auspices of Uncle Sam, the expression used for those taken in the armed services.

Dr. Rodbell in 1970 discovered that signal transmission, or transduction, which is the way the bodys cells get their directions, requires a small intracellular molecule called GTP. His finding has had many implications for human diseases, from cancer to cholera, and their cure. For his pioneering work he shared the 1994 Nobel Prize for Medicine and Physiology Professor Alfred G. Gilman of the University of Texas Southwestern Medical Center , who identified the proteins to which GTP binds and called these the G proteins. Despite heart surgery a decade ago, Dr. Rodbell had continued to work on the signal transmission from and to cells, completing 42 years at NIEHS and other components of National Institutes of Health He had started at what was then the National Heart Institute, made his key discovery at the National Institute of Arthritis and Metabolic Diseases, and then left the Bethesda campus of NIH to continue to work on transduction as scientific director of NIEHS from 1985 to 1989 and thereafter as scientist emeritus.

Extractions: (b. Dec. 1, 1925, Baltimore, Md., U.S.), American biochemist who was awarded the 1994 Nobel Prize in Physiology or Medicine for his discovery in the 1960s of natural signal transducers called G-proteins that help cells in the body communicate with each other. He shared the prize with American pharmacologist Alfred G. Gilman , who later proved Rodbell's hypothesis by isolating the G-protein, which is so named because it binds to nucleotides called guanosine diphosphate and guanosine triphosphate, or GDP and GTP. After graduating from Johns Hopkins University (B.A., 1949) and from the University of Washington (Ph.D., 1954), Rodbell began his career as a biochemist at the National Institutes of Health in Bethesda, Md. From 1985 until his retirement in 1994 he worked at the National Institute of Environmental Health Sciences, near Durham, N.C. Prior to Rodbell's award-winning research, scientists believed that only two substancesa hormone receptor and an interior cell enzymewere responsible for cellular communication. Rodbell, however, discovered that the G-protein acted as an intermediate signal transducer between the two. Despite initial opposition, his theories gained acceptance, and subsequently more than 20 G-proteins were identified. His research led to better understanding of many diseases, including cholera, diabetes, alcoholism, and cancer.

Extractions: by Tom Griffin Nobel Laureate Martin Rodbell, '54. Photo (c)1996 Dan Sears. It's the little things in life that can turn out to make big differences. Take the case of Martin Rodbell. His encounters with a friend's chemistry set, an algebra teacher's extra assignments, a father's resistance to French literature, a Ph.D. project at the UW gone wrongand perhaps he never would have won the Nobel Prize for Medicine in 1994. "I think of this more and more as I get older," says the 70-year-old Nobel laureate, who received his doctorate from the UW biochemistry department in 1954 and now lives in Chapel Hill, N.C. "A person's experiencesthe total life experiencesare really important to carrying something through to its logical conclusion." The logical conclusion to Rodbell's experiences came in a phone call from Sweden at 6 a.m. in the morning on Oct. 10, 1994. The voice told him he was sharing the Nobel Prize with Alfred Gilman of the University of Texas Southwestern Medical Center at Dallas , for work they had both done on how cells communicate through G proteins In recognition of his outstanding work in the world of science, the University of Washington and the UW Alumni Association have named Rodbell the 1996 Alumnus Summa Laude Dignatus, the highest honor the UW can bestow upon any graduate.

Extractions: Martin Rodbell Martin Rodbell and his wife, Barbara, were visiting their daughter in Bethesda, Md., when the phone rang at 6 a.m. one October day in 1994. His daughter was reluctant to wake him, but eventually she did, saying, "Someone with a foreign accent wants to speak with Dr. Rodbell." Rodbell hadn't expected to win the Nobel Prize. "No one should expect such an honor, given the large number of people equally eligible for it," he says. "Still, as soon as I heard the Swedish accent, I realized something was afoot," Rodbell recalls. "The voice declared that I had won the Nobel Prize in physiology or medicine and then asked: `Do you accept?' "The only thought in my mind was, `Do you think I should accept?' followed by a voice saying, `I think you should.' "Finally I said, `OK, I accept,' and thus ended our conversation. What followed was bedlam." Now scientist emeritus at the National Institute of Environment Health Sciences, located in North Carolina's "Research Triangle," Rodbell earned his Ph.D. in biochemistry at the UW in 1954 (See The `G' Man in the June 1996 Columns He was honored for his contributions in discovering the role of GTP (guanosine triphosphate) in signal transduction, which helps cells respond to hormones. Aberrations in signal transduction can lead to diseases such as cholera and even some kinds of cancer.

Rodbell had a long and distinguished career in research and senior leadership positions at the National Institutes of Health. At different times in his career, he conducted research at the National Heart Institute, the National Institute of Arthritis and Metabolic Diseases (NIAMD), and the National Institute of Environmental Health Sciences (NIEHS). He served as Scientific Director of the NIEHS from 1985 to 1989. In 1994 he shared the Nobel Prize in Physiology or Medicine with Alfred Gilman, Professor and Chairman in the Department of Pharmacology at University of Texas Southwestern Medical Center in Dallas, for their work on G-proteins, a key component of the communication system that regulates cellular activity. Rodbell was the fifth NIH intramural scientist to be awarded a Nobel Prize. Martin Rodbell was born on 1 December 1925 in Baltimore, Maryland. He attended public schools in Baltimore and graduated from an accelerated course at Baltimore City College, a highly selective public high school. Martin Rodbell matriculated at the Johns Hopkins University in 1943 but was soon drafted into the U.S. Navy. He served with the Navy in the South Pacific, the Philippines, Korea, and China before returning to the Johns Hopkins University and earning his Bachelor of Arts degree in biology in 1949. Martin received his Ph.D. degree from the University of Washington at Seattle in 1954 for research performed in the laboratory of Don Hanahan. Rodbell received postdoctoral training at the University of Illinois under Herbert Carter in the Department of Chemistry.

Extractions: "The fundamental thing is the opportunity to be creative," said Martin Rodbell speaking about the environment necessary for scientists to arrive at new breakthroughs. Rodbell is a scientist emeritus at the NIEHS and winner of the 1994 Nobel Prize in medicine or physiology. He spoke at a reception held in his honor at the NIEHS on October 13. Rodbell was honored for his work in discovering G-proteins, guanine nucleotide-dependent coupling entities which transmit signals within cells. G-proteins bind to GTP to regulate diverse hormonal functions involving adenylyl cyclase activation, phospholipase C, membrane ion channels, protein synthesis, and cellular growth and differentiation. More than 300 receptors are known to interact with G-proteins, and aberrations in the function of what Rodbell called these "communication devices" underlie a variety of disease states including cancer, diabetes, cholera, and alcoholism. The impact of this discovery has been enormous because identification of the G-proteins and understanding of how they function is essential to basic biomedical research. Rodbell will share the $930,000 prize with researcher Alfred G. Gilman who, building on Rodbell's theory, characterized the chemical nature of G-proteins. Gilman is chair of the Department of Pharmacology at the University of Texas Southwestern Medical Center. Said Ruth L. Kirschstein, deputy director of the National Institutes of Health, "Drs. Rodbell and Gilman have made significant findings in understanding how cells perceive and react in a coordinated way to the thousands of messages that bombard them. This Nobel Prize underscores how important such basic studies are to understanding normal cell function and the diseases that result when cell processes go awry."

Extractions: Rodbell, Martin (1 Dec. 1925-7 Dec. 1999) , Nobel Prize-winning cell biologist, was born in Baltimore, Maryland, the son of Milton Rodbell, a grocer, and Shirley Abrams Rodbell. Although his parents never attended college, they stressed the importance of education to their son. Rodbell's initial impulses toward science did not come from school but rather from two of his childhood friends. His father did not allow him to have a chemistry set in the basement, which served as the grocery storeroom, so instead the boys used his friend's basement to "try to blow up things and watch mixtures change colors." The three boys attended Baltimore City College, a highly selective all-boys public high school. The school was patterned after European preparatory schools, which placed a strong emphasis on the liberal arts and offered only a few science courses. Rodbell entered Johns Hopkins University in the fall of 1943. He was torn between his high school love of languages, especially French, and his grade school love of science. His initial studies at Johns Hopkins, however, were interrupted by World War II. In 1944 Rodbell joined the U.S. Navy and served as a radio operator. Despite his desire as a Jew to fight Adolf Hitler, he spent the majority of his time stationed in the South Pacific. He contracted malaria in the Philippines, then served for the remainder of the war as a radio operator in the Pacific fleet. In 1946 Rodbell resumed his studies at Johns Hopkins and was attracted to French literature and philosophy. His father, however, wanted him to become a doctor, so he took premed courses. Although put off by the competitive premed atmosphere, he was inspired by the enthusiasm of Bentley Glass, a biology professor. Glass encouraged Rodbell to take chemistry to make up for his deficiency in the subject, and consequently Rodbell stayed an extra year and graduated with a B.A. in 1949.
