[edit] Science careerAs a post-doctoral fellow, he continued research at nearby Salk Institute for Biological Studies becoming an assistant research professor in the neuro-endocrinology laboratory of Roger Guillemin. At the Salk, he conducted studies and published with Guillemin[1] on the cell biology and mode of action / structure-activity relationships of hypothalamic hormone analogs and was a co-discoverer of the hypothalamic peptide, Somatostatin.[2] He has articles published in both Nature[3] and Science.[4] His present interests are as a naturopathic theorist extending the theory he published –"The DOLE - Decline of Life's Energy - Theory of Aging." 2000.[5][6] Specifically, the root molecular causes of Aging. [edit] TennisWhile a researcher at the Salk Institute he designed, developed, and built a computerized electronic line judge computer.[7] During 1974 and 1975 his device was used in the first successful public demonstration of a computerized line-calling device at a professional tennis tournament.[citation needed] This original tennis electronic line judge device was used by the Men's World Championship Tennis and the Ladies’ Virginia Slims sponsored tennis tours.[citation needed] The computerized device not only made decisions as to whether the ball landed within the boundaries of the playing zones but also made foot fault and service net-cord decisions.[8][9] During the early years 1975-6, of the World TeamTennis (WWT) league it adopted Dr. Grant's creative alternative tennis court design as a ‘signature logo’.[citation needed] The original WTT no-line, multi-colored tennis court was a multi-colored court with eleven separate colored areas with no segregating lines.[citation needed] A USPTO utility patent[10] was issued in 1977.[11] [edit] ProfessionalDuring the last decade Grant has been professor and an administrative manager at the University of North Texas Health Science Center at Fort Worth[citation needed] and the University of Texas at Arlington[citation needed] where he assisted and mentored entrepreneurs in their efforts to commercialize university intellectual property.
