It is with great sadness that the Austrian Pharmacological Society must announce the death of its
honorary member,
Univ.-Prof. Dr. Oleh Hornykiewicz His fundamental work on the physiological role of dopamine as a neurotransmitter and the pathophysiological mechanisms of Parkinson's disease led him to pioneering clinical trials to use L-DOPA as a therapy for this condition. The Austrian Pharmacological Society honoured him in 2003 by awarding honorary membership. A detailed obituary by Harald Sitte and Christian Pifl from the Medical University of Vienna can be found → here.
