On Becoming a Pharmacologist: Channeling David Triggle.

Abstract:

:This Festschrift contribution summarizes the perspectives of two of David Triggle's graduate students. Both share somewhat parallel scientific and career paths-i.e., enrolling in the Biochemical Pharmacology program at the University of Buffalo, pursuing graduate training under the mentorship of David Triggle and subsequently undertaking postdoctoral studies at Baylor College of Medicine, and ultimately transitioning to careers in the pharmaceutical industry, now for the past 20+ years. David Triggle's mentorship and guidance was instrumental in developing scientific careers and thought processes at both professional and personal levels. The article is a chronological view of the lessons learned from David Triggle starting in the early 1980s and continuing to the present.
