Candice Pert, PhD

Dr. Candace Pert died September 12, 2013 at age 67, leaving a legacy as a giant in her work as an internationally recognized neuroscientist and pharmacologist who discovered the opiate receptor,
the cellular binding site for endorphins in the brain, which she fully explained to students as
an RSE Guest Speaker in the late 1990’s. Pert’s jovial and down-to-earth style in making a complicated brain discussion easy-to-understand left an enduring imprint at this School.
