Sinai boy succeeds! Don graduated from Sinai High in 1958 and Augustana College in 1964, where we were classmates. He received a PhD in Cell and Molecular Biology in 1968, from the University of Colorado. This was followed by a two-year post doctoral study of mammalian DNA structure at the Institute of Molecular Biophysics, Florida State University, then two years at the Union Carbide Research Institute, Tarrytown, NY, studying the DNA structure of the cancer virus. He then served a dual faculty appointment for eleven years at the Memorial Sloan Kettering Cancer Center and Cornell Graduate Center of Medical Sciences in New York City. During this time he studied the effects of chemotherapy on sperm quality. His invention of the Sperm Chromatin Structure Assay is now used around the world in numerous infertility clinics and for which he received a patent.
To be continued later because the blogger is tired. It was my privilege to preside at his funeral service today. I'll preside tomorrow at the burial in Joanne's cemetery.
Takk for alt,
Al
