Mollie Elizabeth Holman 1930–2010
Professor Mollie Holman was a physiologist who advanced understanding of how the autonomic nervous system controls smooth muscle at a cellular level.
Mollie Holman was a biophysicist whose work on the autonomic nervous system and the innervation of smooth muscle was seminal in advancing knowledge of its behaviour at a cellular level.
She was particularly known for her technical expertise in microelectrode recording of membrane potential from single smooth muscle cells, and the interpretation of their electrical activity, both spontaneous and in response to transmitters released from their autonomic nerves.
