Himan Sternlicht, Ph.D
Trained in theoretical chemistry at Cal Tech and one of the internationally recognized
founders of carbon-13 NMR spectroscopy, Hi made a mid career change to emphasize
biology, joined the Faculty of Pharmacology at CWRU in 1977, and focused his keen
mind on understanding microtubule assembly. Hi impressed his colleagues and his
peers with his childlike curiosity and tenacious pursuit of knowledge. He will be
remembered in the legacy of CWRU Pharmacology, and he will be missed!
