'''Dominick P. Purpura''' (April 2, 1927—May 16, 2019) was a world-renowned [[neuroscientist]]<ref></ref> and a well-known pioneer in [[neuroscience]]. He is well known for his research focused on [[mental retardation]] as well as the origin of [[brain waves]], [[developmental neurobiology]], and [[epilepsy]].
==Personal life==
Purpura was born in [[Manhattan, New York]]<ref></ref> on April 2nd, 1927 and grew up in the [[Upper East Side]]. After [[World War II]], Purpura served in the [[United States Air Force]]. In his later years, Purpura resided in [[Manhattan, New York]] with his wife Florence Williams. Together they have four children and four grandchildren. Purpura and Williams married in 1948. Purpura passes away at the age of 92 on May 16th, 2019.
== Educational and professional history ==
In 1949 Purpura earned his Bachelor's degree from Columbia University, and in 1953 graduated with honors from [[Harvard University]] <ref>Liquid error: wrong number of arguments (given 1, expected 2)</ref>with a Medical degree. Purpura went on to teach at [[Columbia University School of Professional Studies|Columbia University’s Vagelos College of Physicians and Surgeons]] for ten years (1974-1984) before leaving to become the Dean of the [[Albert Einstein College of Medicine|Albert Einstein College of Medicine of Yeshiva University]]. Purpura is recognized as "the longest-serving dean of any medical school in the United States" <ref name=":0"> Dominick P. Purpura Department of Neuroscience Albert Einstein College of Medicine|website=www.einstein.yu.edu|access-date=2020-03-31}}</ref> and due to this long term Purpura accomplished many things during his career. During his time as Dean, Purpura was quotes as positioning Einstein as the "educational hub" <ref name=":0" />of the five major teaching hospitals in New York : [[Montefiore Medical Center]], [[Bronx-Lebanon Hospital Center]], [[Jacobi Medical Center]], [[Northwell Health|North Shore-Long Island Jewish Health System]], [[Mount Sinai Beth Israel|Beth Israel Medical Center]]. From 1969-1972 Purpura served as the Scientific Director of the Einstein’s Rose F. Kennedy Center for Mental Retardation and Developmental Disabilities and from 1972-1984 served as the director. In 1982-1984 Purpura served as the Dean to not only [[Albert Einstein College of Medicine|Albert Einstein College of Medicine of Yeshiva University]] but also the Dean of [[Stanford University School of Medicine]]. Throughout Purpura's professional and academic career he has been published and authored. or coauthored over 200 scientific articles.
== Connections ==
Purpura came to have many valuable connections throughout his career as a neuroscientist. As he was the Dean of the [[Albert Einstein College of Medicine]] at [[Yeshiva University]], he came to know many other neuroscientists such as [[Bernard Cohen]] ([[Mt. Sinai]]), Carlos A. Diaz-Balzac (Yeshiva University)<ref></ref>, and Steven U. Walkley (Albert Einstein). One of Purpura’s most significant colleagues was [[Harry Grundfest]] ([[Colombia University]]). Between the two of them and various other colleagues, they wrote over 40 published papers between 1951-1955. They also laid groundbreaking research for [[neuropharmacology]]. Their findings involved how to use [[pharmacological]] devices to obtain critical information about the system that was being researched. As he was influenced by his predecessors, his teachings influenced those he had touched in his later years. Others such as Pasko Rakic and Norman Lamm were some of his colleagues during his time as dean. Purpura lit the way for future [[neuroscientists]] with his findings of [[Epilepsy]] and [[neurophysiology]]. Edward R. Burns M.D. (executive dean at Einstein) shared that Purpura revolutionized how medical education was taught. Many of his methods were adopted from [[medical schools]] across the country.
