Bergström's explorations of this virgin territory earned him the sobriquet "father of prostaglandin chemistry" and last week an even greater honor, the Nobel Prize in Medicine. The 66-year-old Swede shared the award and $157,500 with two other pioneers of PG research: Bengt Samuelsson, 48, a former student of Bergström's and his colleague at Stockholm's Karolinska Institute, and British Pharmacologist John Vane, 55, of Wellcome Research Laboratories in Beckenham, England. All three received the news in Boston, where they were helping to celebrate Harvard Medical School...
Suno Bergstrom, 66, and Bengt I. Samuelsson, 48, both professors of Chemistry at the Karolinska Institute in Stockholm shared the award with John R. Vane, 55, a research director of a London science foundation...
...three have had an affiliation with the University. Bergstrom received a Harvard honorary degree in 1976, Vane was a visiting professor in medicine about 10 years ago, and Samuelsson did post-doctoral research 20 years ago with E.J. Corey, now Emory Professor of Organic Chemistry...
...award for basic medical research was shared by Drs. K. Sune Bergström and Bengt Samuelsson, both of Stockholm's Karolinska Institute, and Pharmacologist John R. Vane of Britain's Wellcome Research Laboratories. The three men were honored for their pioneering work in identifying and isolating prostaglandins. First thought to be produced only by the prostate gland-hence the name-prostaglandins are in fact manufactured and found everywhere in the body. They are like hormones and appear to regulate a wide variety of basic life functions, from controlling the clotting of blood and secretion of gastric acid...
...Invoking God. It is a mistake, says Samuelsson, to infer from Protestant and Puritan support for old-style capitalism that the religion helped forge the economy, or that capitalism would have developed differently in another spiritual climate: "In all religious faiths, the servants of God have invoked Him as a guarantee of the righteousness and prosperity of their own social class, their own nation, their own race-in short, their own interests. But we cannot assert that Christianity was therefore the cause of all the oppression of one social class by another that has been committed...
