In the Service of Pharmacology

SUMMARY

Paul Vanhoutte has worked at a variety of institutions worldwide and has a publication list that includes over 460 original research papers and almost as many additional reviews and book chapters. Educated (MD and PhD) in Belgium and subsequently tenured on the faculties of the University of Antwerp (1973–1981), the Mayo Clinic (1981–1989), and Baylor College of Medicine (1989–1995), he is extensively familiar with both American and European biomedical science. For the past ten years, he has worked not in academia, but has pursued his career largely as an industrial pharmacologist (predominantly in France). Despite the apparent diversity of background, Vanhoutte maintains that his professional interests have always been driven by the application of science toward human health. At its Fourteenth World Congress this summer, the International Union of Pharmacology (IUPHAR) elected Vanhoutte to be President for the next four years. He is especially enthusiastic about the venue of the Fifteenth World Congress in 2006, in Beijing. As he presides over IUPHAR, Vanhoutte is hopeful of bringing the messages of pharmacology to as much of the world as possible. The financial necessities of doing so pose the greatest challenge for Vanhoutte and his colleagues of the IUPHAR Executive Committee.
