Arthur Beck Pardee ( born July 13, 1921 in Chicago, Illinois) is an American pharmacologist and biochemist who received the prestigious Rosenstiel Award in 1975.

Biography

After schooling Pardee began in 1942 to study at the University of California, Berkeley, where he was after completion until 1961 worked as researcher. He also worked as a visiting scientist at the California Institute of Technology in 1943 and 1947 to 1949 at the University of Wisconsin -Madison before to 1958, he worked from 1957 as a guest researcher at the Institut Pasteur in Paris.

In 1961 he accepted a position as professor of biochemistry at Princeton University and was most recently from 1975 until his retirement in 1997 Professor of Pharmacology at Harvard Medical School.

After early research in the fields of redox reaction, tumor metabolome and antibody responses, he busied himself with how cells control their translation. He also discovered feedback controls in the synthesis of amino acids. In addition, his studies of deoxyribonucleic acid ( DNA) resulted in the investigation of a number of specific inhibitors that regulate biochemical processes. Most recently, he examined from the beginning of the 1980s, the effects of peptide including the insulin-like growth factors, and in 1984, the ubiquitin system.

For his achievements, he was awarded the 1960 Pfizer Award in Enzyme Chemistry and 1975 together with H. Edwin Umbarger the Rosenstiel Award from Brandeis University. 1984 to 1985 he was president of the American Association for Cancer Research.
