Professor Shinya Inoué was a microscopist, cell biologist, and educator who has been described as the grandfather of modern light microscopy. He was born in London, England on January 5, 1921, and moved to the United States in 1948. Having already completed his undergraduate studies at Tokyo University under the guidance of Katsuma Dan, Inoué attended Princeton for both his master's and doctorate education, which he finished in 1959. He then took a position at Dartmouth Medical School and was subsequently awarded honorary degrees from Dartmouth College and the University of Pennsylvania, where Inoué also served as Chair in the Department of Biophysics. In 1982, Inoué resigned his Chair position at Penn to devote full time to his research at Woods Hole Marine Biological Laboratory. While at Woods Hole, he also worked with other scientists and companies to offer the first Woods Hole course in 1981, and these well-known courses continue more than 40 years later.
