Biography & Research Background
Sami I. Said, MD, is the co-discoverer of VIP, originally isolating the peptide from porcine intestine in 1970 at the Medical College of Virginia alongside Viktor Mutt of Karolinska Institute. He subsequently joined Stony Brook University (SUNY), where he identified VIP in the central and peripheral nervous systems, established its function as a neurotransmitter and vasodilator, and demonstrated its lung-protective properties including surfactant upregulation and cytokine synthesis inhibition. His foundational work spans from the original 1970 Science paper through decades of pulmonary and immunology research. Sami I. Said is being referenced as one of the leading scientists involved in the research and development of VIP (Vasoactive Intestinal Peptide).
