What a legacy Jim leaves. His brilliance and love of science was palpable and inspiring. He was an incredible scientist- I teach his groundbreaking work on careful measurements of mechano ion channels every year. I’ll miss him. Here is a good memory with 3rd gen @yasmeen-hamed.bsky.social.

TRYPTYR (acoltremon ophthalmic solution) 0.003% eye drops | Alcon US TRYPTYR is a prescription eye drop used for the treatment of the signs and symptoms of dry eye disease. See prescribing information, how to save, and more.

Over 20 years after Julius’s lab and mine cloned TRPM8, it is rewarding to see this science helping patients. The TRPM8 agonist Tryptyr treats dry eye by increasing tear production. A reminder that NIH-funded curiosity-driven research translates to medicines.
