Biography

Douglas G. Stuart (born May 10, 1931 in Casino, New South Wales, Australia) is a Regents' professor emeritus of Physiology at the University of Arizona.[1] He became a naturalized US Citizen in 1961. He is married and has 4 children, and 7 grandchildren.

Contributions in neuroscience

Stuart is known workd-wide for his research contributions in neural control of movement, in the understanding of the fundamental properties of spinal neurons, overviews on the neurobiology of motor control, and the history of movement neuroscience. He has over 130 experimental papers published in reered-reviewed scientific journals, and has authored almost 100 chapters, reviews and symposium volumes. His research was funded continuously by the National Institutes of Health. Between 1984-91, he has held the Senator Jacob Javits Neuroscience Investigator Award, and between 1976-77 he was selected as a Guggenheim Fellow. Stuart coined the term, "interphyletic awareness" during the organization (together with Sten Grillner (University of Stockholm and Paul Stein (Washington Univ, St. Louis) of three international conferences that brought together scientists working on various species; all followed by widely read symposium volumes. The Stuart's lab has made exceptional contributions to the study of locomotion, and the need to integrate findings from experiments on invertebrates, non-mammalian vertebrates, mammalian tetrapods, non-human primates, and humans.

Other achievements

Almost 100 scientists from across the globe have worked with Stuart either as PhD students, post-doctoral trainees or visiting professors. A number of Stuart's post doctoral trainees are now leading research universities and institutes in the USA and worldwide (e.g., Cyprus Neuroscience and Technology Institute,[2] Nicosia, Cyprus; Ibaraki Prefectural University of Health Sciences, Ibaraki, Japan; Institute of Biophysics,[3] Bulgarian Academy of Sciences, Sophia, Bulgaria; Nara Medical University, Yagi, Japan; University of Chicago, IL, USA; University of Washington, Seattle, WA; McGill University, Montreal, Canada; University College, London, UK).
