Abstract
Richard Bukoski, PhD, a member of the American Physiological Society since 1980, died of natural causes on March 2, 2004. He is survived by his wife Heidi, his parents, and his four children, Conrad, Jacob, Isaac, and Sarah-Anne. At the time of his death, Dick was Professor of Biology and director of the Cardiovascular Disease Research Program at the Biomedical, Biotechnology Research Institute at North Carolina Central University (NCCU), Durham. Dr Bukoski’s research, which has been supported by National Institutes of Health (NIH) funding since 1988, had the long-range goal of understanding the molecular mechanisms that link whole animal Ca2+ homeostasis with vascular function. Among his accomplishments were description of the effects of 1,25 (OH)2 vitamin D3 and noncalcemic analogues of the secosteroid on vascular smooth muscle phenotype, intracellular Ca2+ metabolism, and contractility; the demonstration of a Ca2+-activated, perivascular sensory nerve dependent vasodilator system in …
