William A. Catterall (1946-2024)
Excellence and leadership were defining characteristics of University of Washington Neurobiologist William (Bill) A. Catterall who died at age 77 on February 28, 2024. Born and raised in Providence Rhode Island, Bill was an Ivy League scholar, graduating from Brown and Johns Hopkins Universities. He joined the Department of Pharmacology at the University of Washington School of Medicine in 1977 and was research-active until his death. His contributions to modern pharmacology, leadership impact at UW, and the legacy of his trainees are incalculable. He is survived by his wife Tina, son Douglas, and daughter Elizabeth.
