The book is dedicated to my family.

Gerald (Gerry) Litwack was educated at Hobart College (BA) with graduate work at the University of Wisconsin, Madison (MS and PhD in biochemistry). After spending a summer at the University of Wisconsin as an instructor in a course on enzymes, he sailed to Paris (Liberte) where he spent a year as a postdoctoral fellow of the National Foundation for Infantile Paralysis at the Laboratoire de Chimie Biologique of the Sorbonne. He then became an Assistant Professor of Biochemistry at Rutgers University, later becoming an Associate Professor at the Graduate School of Medicine of the University of Pennsylvania. Future posts took him to the Fels Institute for Cancer Research and Molecular Biology at the Temple University School of Medicine where he was the Laura H. Carnell Professor of Biochemistry and the Deputy Director of the Institute. Later, he was the Chairman of the Department of Biochemistry and Molecular Pharmacology, a Professor of Biochemistry, Vice Dean for Research, and the Director of the Institute for Apoptosis at Thomas Jefferson University Kimmel Medical College with future appointments as a Visiting Scholar at the Geffen School of Medicine at UCLA, the Founding Chair of the Department of Basic Science of the Geisinger Commonwealth School of Medicine, and, as his final position, a Professor of Molecular and Cellular Medicine and the Associate Director of the Institute for Regenerative Medicine at Texas A&M University School of Medicine. Dr. Litwack was a Sabbatical Visitor at the University of California, Berkeley; the University of California, San Francisco; the Courtauld Institute of Biochemistry (London); and the Wistar Institute. He was appointed as the Emeritus Professor and/or Chairman at Rutgers University, Thomas Jefferson University, and Geisinger Commonwealth School of Medicine. He has published more than 350 papers in scientific journals, is named on more than 20 patents, and held numerous editorial positions on biochemical and cancer journals. He has authored 3 textbooks in the areas of biochemistry or endocrinology and has edited more than 65 books. Following his retirement, he lives with his family in Los Angeles where he continues his work as an author and editor and paints in watercolor.

. Multiple-choice review questions were prepared by myself, while the case-based problems are the contribution of Prof. Sonia Lobo of the Department of Basic Sciences, the Geisinger Commonwealth School of Medicine. I am most grateful for her contributions. She has considerable experience in utilizing problem-based learning in her teaching of medical students. My hope is that these materials will aid students in the health sciences, especially in those institutions that may be moving in the direction of problem-based learning.
