 UC San Diego Creates Endowed Faculty Chair to Honor George Palade, One of the Founding Fathers of Modern Cell Biology
Palade came to UC San Diego from Yale University in 1990 to serve as UCSD School of Medicine’s first dean for Scientific Affairs, where he created one of the preeminent cell biology programs in the nation, and served as a professor of Medicine.
Palade is internationally recognized for his pioneering use of electron microscopy and “cell fractionation” to reveal and define the inner workings of the cell, and is best known for his work in establishing the pathway for synthesis and transport of proteins along the secretory pathway.
The George E. Palade Endowed Chair in the UCSD Health Sciences School of Medicine was funded with an unrestricted gift in the amount of $650,000 from the estate of Joseph N. Roberts, $150,000 through the university’s recent Chancellor’s Chair Challenge and the first lead gift of $100,000 from the Richard Lounsbery Foundation.

 American Society for Cell Biology
Born in Jassy, Romania, the old capital of Moldavia, in the Eastern province of Romania, George Emil Palade was the son of a philosophy professor and a teacher.
Palade was educated at the Liceul “Al Hasdeu” of Buzau in Romania, where in 1930 he earned his bachelor’s degree from the continental-style combination high school and college.
Palade recalls that the new administration at Rockefeller in the early 1970’s did not favor large departments, and the laboratory of cell biology was one of the largest departments in the school, creating a number of administrative problems and frustrations for Palade as he worked to help younger colleagues establish their scientific careers.

 George Emil Palade Summary
Palade and Siekevitz began a series of experiments on ribosomes of the liver and pancreas, employing autoradiographic tracing, a sophisticated process similar to X-ray photography in which a picture is produced by radiation.
George Palade entered the science of cell biology at a time when techniques such as electron microscopy and sedimentation of discrete bits of cell structure were beginning to reveal the minute structure of the cell.
Palade's team also traced the transportation network as well as the function of the Golgi complex, tubelike structures where proteins are sorted before final transport to the cell surface for export.

 AllRefer.com - Palade, George Information
Palade determined the parts of the cell involved in protein secretion, and discovered ribosomes, which he showed to be rich in RNA, or ribonucleic acid (nucleic acid involved in the process of translating genetic material into proteins).
Cell research Palade developed a method called cell fractionation, in which elements of the cell are labelled with radioactive molecules and then segregated by breaking the cell apart and spinning down the organelles to isolate them from one another.
He elucidated that the protein is made on the ribosomes, moved into the interior of the endoplasmic reticulum and from there to a series of flattened sacs in the cytoplasm, called the Golgi apparatus.

Just as Siekevitz was considering his next move, George Palade, having read Siekevitz’ early work on in vitro protein synthesis, invited Siekevitz to come to work with him at Rockefeller.
Using the "Palade granules" (later named ribosomes), the small particles that are attached to the membranes of the ER, as means of identification of the ER, they conclusively demonstrated that the microsomal fraction consists of fragments of the ER generated during tissue homogenization.
Further work using radioactive amino acids showed first that the secretory enzymes of the pancreas were synthesized on the attached ribosomes, then transversed the ER membrane into the lumen of the ER, and appeared in the zymogen granules that are known to accumulate the enzymes before they are secreted into the lumen of the intestine.

Biologists began to delve into the issue of cellular function from a molecular aspect; that is, they attempted to explain functions of various cellular structures and processes using molecular analysis and experimentation.
Under the mentorship of George E. Palade (Nobel Prize Laureate in 1974), who had already found the intracellular path of secretory proteins, Blobel began to perform intense research at Rockefeller University in New York into the issue of cellular protein targeting.
Palade had already found that secretory proteins traverse the rough endoplasmic reticulum (ER) membrane, where they are modified after which they enter the Golgi Apparatus for packaging, before being exported from the cell.
