Louis J. Ignarro

Louis Joseph Ignarro is an Italian American pharmacologist. He is the recipient of the Nobel Prize in Physiology or Medicine 1998 together with Robert F. Furchgott and FeridMurad. Ignarro demonstrated the effects of nitric oxide (NO) on vasodilatation and relieve of chest pains. He also received the Basic Research Prize (American Heart Association) in recognition of his contributions to the field of cardiovascular science.

Dr. Ignarro findings have been involved in developing other life saving heart medicines and Viagra. He is a founder of the Nitric Oxide Society and also the editor of its journal “Nitric Oxide: Biology and Chemistry”.  Dr. Ignarro is the author of the following books “Nitric Oxide: Biochemistry, Molecular Biology, and Therapeutic Implications” (1995)with FeridMurad and “Nitric Oxide: Biology and Pathobiology” (2000).
