'پدر واکسن ایران' درگذشت


دکتر حسین میرشمسی، که به پدر واکسن ایران مشهور است ، شنبه بیست و سوم آذر در سن ۹۲ سالگی در تهران درگذشت.
محمد حسین دلیمی، رئیس موسسه سرم سازی رازی به ایرنا، خبرگزاری رسمی جمهوری اسلامی گفته است که آقای میرشمسی علیرغم بازنشستگی و کهولت سن کماکان با این موسسه و موسسات علمی جهان و سازمان بهداشت جهانی همکاری علمی و پژوهشی خود را قطع نکرده بود.
دکتر میرشمسی به دلیل تلاش برای تولید واکسن های دامی، واکسن و سرم دیفتری، کزاز، سیاه سرفه و همچنین تولید واکسن برای بیماری های ویروسی سرخک، فلج اطفال، سرخجه و اوریون و انتقال دانش فنی ساخت این واکسن ها به ایران پدر واکسن این کشور خوانده می شود.
او در سال ۱۲۹۵ در اصفهان به دنیا آمد و تا پایان دبیرستان در همان شهر تحصیل کرد و سپس وارد دانشگاه تهران شد و مدرک دکترای دامپزشکی گرفت.
دکتر میرشمسی پس از مدتی کار در موسسه سرم سازی رازی، برای ادامه تحصیل به فرانسه رفت و از انیستیتو پاستور پاریس دیپلم تخصصی در رشته میکروب شناسی، ایمنی شناسی و سرم شناسی و از دانشگاه پاریس دکترای دامپزشکی گرفت.
او چند سال پس از این دو مدرک ویروس شناسی خود را از مؤسسات تحقیقاتی لندن و نیویورک دریافت کرد.
دکتر میرشمسی در این زمان پس از بازگشت به ایران معاون واحد تولید واکسن های مصرف پزشکی انستیتو رازی شد.
آقای میرشمسی نشان درجه یک پژوهش را از دولت ایران دریافت کرده بود و در سال های اخیر به عنوان یکی از "چهره های ماندگار" این کشور انتخاب شده بود.

Chemistry for Pharmacy Students: General, Organic and Natural Product Chemistry



Chemistry for Pharmacy Students is a student-friendly introduction to the key areas of chemistry required by all pharmacy and pharmaceutical science students. The book provides a comprehensive overview of the various areas of general, organic and natural products chemistry (in relation to drug molecules).
Clearly structured to enhance student understanding, the book is divided into six clear sections. The book opens with an overview of general aspects of chemistry and their importance to modern life, with particular emphasis on medicinal applications. The text then moves on to a discussion of the concepts of atomic structure and bonding and the fundamentals of stereochemistry and their significance to pharmacy- in relation to drug action and toxicity. Various aspects of aliphatic, aromatic and heterocyclic chemistry and their pharmaceutical importance are then covered with final chapters looking at organic reactions and their applications to drug discovery and development and natural products chemistry.
accessible introduction to the key areas of chemistry required for all pharmacy degree courses
student-friendly and written at a level suitable for non-chemistry students
includes learning objectives at the beginning of each chapter
focuses on the physical properties and actions of drug molecules

Molecular and Cellular Signaling (Biological and Medical Physics, Biomedical Engineering)


The text is aimed at a broad audience of students and other individuals interested in furthering their understanding of how cells regulate and coordinate their core activities. Malfunction in the control layer is responsible for a host of human disorders ranging from neurological disorders to cancers. Most drugs target components in the control layer, and difficulties in drug design are intimately related to the architecture of the control layer. This book will be useful to students and individuals in medicine and pharmacology interested in broadening their understanding of how the control layer works. To further that goal, there are chapters on cancers and apoptosis, and on bacteria and viruses. In those chapters not specifically devoted to pathogens, connections between diseases, drugs and signaling are made.The audience for this book includes students in chemistry, physics and computer science who intend to work in biological and medical physics, and bioinformatics and systems biology. The first five chapters of the book are mainly background and review chapters. Signaling in the immune, endocrine (hormonal) and nervous systems is covered along with cancer, apoptosis and gene regulation.About the AuthorMartin Beckerman, Ph.D. is Senior Scientist at the Department of Energy/National Nuclear Security Administration’s Y-12 National Security Complex in Oak Ridge, TN. Prior to assuming his current position at the Y-12 NSC, Dr. Beckerman held teaching and research positions at the Weizmann Institute of Science, the University of Rochester, the Massachusetts Institute of Technology, the University of Tennessee and the Oak Ridge National Laboratory. He has over 130 publications, 1400 citations, and is the author of a previously published book entitled Adaptive Cooperative Systems.
