Dr. Anthony Norman, Faculty Athletic Representative

In addition to his duties as professor of biochemistry and biomedical sciences at UC Riverside, Dr. Anthony W. Norman serves as faculty athletic representative, the liaison between the campus and the National Collegiate Athletic Association. 

Now the Presidential Chair and Distinguished Professor of Biochemistry and Biomedical Sciences, Norman's career at UCR dates back to 1963 when he started at the school as an assistant professor. Since then he has served as Chairman of the Department of Biochemistry and as Dean of the UCR/UCLA Program in Biomedical Sciences and is internationally recognized for his research achievements in the study of vitamin D. His research discovered that vitamin D is a steroid hormone. In 1967 his laboratory discovered the active form of vitamin D, namely 1,25-dihydroxyvitamin D3. This essential substance is normally produced by the kidney and produces a host of essential biological responses including stimulation of intestinal calcium absorption in bone calcium formation, but also with actions in the immune system, secretion of insulin and in the skin. A number of drug formulations of hormone D have been prepared by pharmaceutical companies based on the pioneering work done at UCR. Additional research includes studies of molecular endocrinology, signal transduction and biomedical research.

Norman has been honored with many awards, including the Mead Johnson Award, from American Institute of Nutrition and Ernst Oppenheimer Award from the Endocrine Society in 1979, the Osborne and Mendel Award from the American Institute of Nutrition in 1990 and the William F. Neuman Award from the American Society for Bone and Mineral Research in 1995. He has been a visiting faculty member at the Mayo Clinic and Prix Andre Lichtwitz in Paris, France.

Norman received his undergraduate degree from Oberlin College in 1959, where he was a member of the nationally ranked soccer team and captain of the tennis team. He earned his Ph.D. in Biochemistry from the University of Wisconsin, Madison, in 1963.

Norman resides in Riverside with his wife, Helen Henry, who is also a professor of biochemistry at UCR.
