Edward P. Kirby, Ph.D. On March 19, 1993, Dr. Edward P. Kirby, a member of Temple University’s Biochemistry Department for over 20 years, passed away. Dr. Kirby was well-respected and admired by his colleagues, graduate students and post-doctoral fellows as well as the many medical students to whom he has lectured in Classroom A for so many years. He was deeply committed to our medical education. As one of the pioneers of computer-assisted instruction in biochemistry, he helped integrate this method of teaching carbohydrate, lipid and amino acid metabolism into our curriculum. Dr. Kirby earned his Ph.D. in 1968 from Case Western Reserve University and studied blood coagulation during his post-doctoral fellowship. He is well-known for demonstrating the association between Factor VIII and von Willebrand's factor, and has published over 50 research papers in the field of blood coagulation. Those who knew Dr. Kirby w'cll and worked closely with him on a daily basis will tell you that he always had a positive outlook and was an invaluable mentor to his graduate students and post-doctoral fellows. His wry sense of humor, intellectual curiosity and his unique approaches to problem-solving will be missed by those who knew him, but his presence will be felt in the years to come as he continues to teach through his computer-based programs.
