Age, Biography and Wiki

David Julius is an American biochemist and pharmacologist. He is best known for his research on the molecular basis of pain sensation, which has led to the development of new treatments for chronic pain. He is currently a professor of physiology at the University of California, San Francisco, and a Howard Hughes Medical Institute Investigator. Julius was born in Brighton Beach, New York, and grew up in Brooklyn. He received his bachelor's degree in biochemistry from the University of California, Berkeley in 1977, and his Ph.D. in biochemistry from Stanford University in 1981. Julius has made numerous contributions to the field of pain research. He has identified several ion channels that are involved in the sensation of pain, including the TRPV1 channel, which is activated by capsaicin, the active ingredient in chili peppers. He has also identified several G protein-coupled receptors that are involved in the sensation of pain, including the P2X3 receptor, which is activated by ATP. Julius has received numerous awards for his work, including the Lasker Award in Basic Medical Research in 2011, the Kavli Prize in Neuroscience in 2014, and the Canada Gairdner International Award in 2015. He was elected to the National Academy of Sciences in 2002 and the Institute of Medicine in 2003. As of 2021, David Julius's net worth is estimated to be $20 million.

Timeline

2000

In 2000, Julius was awarded the inaugural Perl-UNC Neuroscience Prize for his work on cloning the capsaicin receptor. In 2010, he won the Shaw Prize for his work identifying the ion channels involved in various aspects of nociception. In 2014 he was honored by Johnson & Johnson with the Dr. Paul Janssen Award for Biomedical Research for discovering the molecular basis for pain and thermosensation. In 2017, he won the Gairdner Foundation International Award and the HFSP Nakasone Award. He has been awarded the 2020 Breakthrough Prize in Life Sciences, and the 2020 Kavli Prize in neuroscience (together with Ardem Patapoutian).

1997

In 1997, the Julius lab cloned and characterized TrpV1 which is the receptor that detects capsaicin, the chemical in chili peppers that makes them "hot". Remarkably, they found that TrpV1 also detects noxious heat. TrpV1 is part of the large family of structurally related TRP (transient receptor potential) cation channels. Animals that lack TrpV1 (using genetic knockouts of the protein) lose sensitivity to noxious heat and capsaicin.

1977

A native of Brighton Beach, Julius earned his undergraduate degree from Massachusetts Institute of Technology in 1977. He attained his doctorate from University of California, Berkeley in 1984, under joint supervision of Jeremy Thorner and Randy Schekman. In 1989, he completed his post-doctoral training with Richard Axel at Columbia University where he cloned and characterized the serotonin 1c receptor.

1955

David J. Julius (born November 4, 1955) is an American physiologist known for his work on molecular mechanisms underlying detection of thermal stimuli and natural products. He is a professor at the University of California, San Francisco, and won the 2010 Shaw Prize in life science and medicine.
