Catterall Science Symposium

Excellence and leadership were defining characteristics of William A. Catterall, who passed away suddenly earlier this year. Bill joined the Department of Pharmacology at the University of Washington in 1977 and was Chair for 33 years. He continued to be actively engaged in research until his death. His contributions to modern pharmacology and neurobiology, leadership role at UW, and the legacy of his trainees are incalculable. Over 150 scientists passed through his lab. Catterall lab alumni are hugely influential in world pharmacology, with many going on to prominent roles in academia and industry. Each trainee being proud to trace their roots to time spent at the bench with Bill Catterall.
