John Nicholls is Professor of Neurobiology at the International School for Advanced Studies (SISSA) in Trieste, Italy. Born in London in 1929, he received a medical degree from Charing Cross Hospital and a Ph.D. from the Department of Biophysics at University College London, where he did research under the direction of Sir Bernard Katz. He has worked at Oxford, Harvard, Yale, and Stanford Universities, and at the Biocenter in Basel. His great friend Stephen Kuffler created the first department of Neurobiology in the world. Together, they did many experiments and conceived From Neuron toBrain, a textbook on the nervous system. Dr. Nicholls has given courses in neurobiology at Woods Hole and Cold Spring Harbor, and in universities throughout Asia, Africa, and Latin America. His work, widely recognized and published in leading journals, concerns repair of the nervous system after injury and the origin of the respiratory rhythm.
