	Ferid Murad Summary
		Murad was assigned by his mentors with the task of demonstrating that the catecholamine effects on cyclic AMP formation resulted from events mediated by the beta-adrenergic receptors.
		Murad remained at the University of Virginia until 1981, when he was appointed to the position of Director of the Clinical Research Center in 1971 and Director of Clinical Pharmacology in 1973, before being promoted to professor in 1975, at the age of 39.
		Ferid Murad (born September 14, 1936) is an American physician and pharmacologist, and a co-winner of the 1998 Nobel Prize in Physiology or Medicine.

		Murad discovered in 1977 that nitroglycerin and related heart drugs caused the body to produce the colourless, odourless gas, nitric oxide (NO).
		Murad was professor of pharmacology at the University of Virginia, Charlottesville, from 1975 until 1981, when he became professor at the departments of internal medicine and pharmacology at Stanford University, California, a post he retained until 1989.
		Murad was vice-president of Abbot Laboratories, Illinois, from 1990 until 1992 and became president of the Molecular Geriatrics Corporation, Lake Bluff, Illinois, from 1993 until 1995.

	Ferid Murad - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		Ferid Murad (born September 14, 1936) is an American physician and pharmacologist, and a co-winner of the 1998 Nobel Prize in Physiology or Medicine.
		He was born in Whiting, Indiana to John Murad (born Xhabir Murat Ejupi), an Albanian and Henrietta Bowman, an American.
		Murad's key work was in showing that nitroglycerin and related drugs worked by releasing nitric oxide into the body, with the gas somehow acting as a signalling molecule in the cardiovascular system, making blood vessels dilate.

		Ferid Murad is Professor and Chairman of the School of Medicine Department of Integrative Biology and Pharmacology at the University of Texas Health Science Center at Houston.
		Murad and Robert F. Furchgott and Louis J. Ignarro, co-recipients of the award, discovered how this colorless gas can be used to signal blood vessels to relax and widen, thus lowering blood pressure.
		Despite initial disbelief from fellow researchers, Dr. Murad persevered in his conviction that the short-lived gas was crucially important to the body's signaling system.

		Ferid Murad confirmed the story, saying he first thought about it at the beginning of his career in the 1960s.
		Murad found that the way this process works is that the substances are converted to a guanyl cyclase activator, which turned out to be nitric oxide.
		Murad's discovery that nitric oxide had beneficial effects was a surprise, and one that has vast medical implications.
