Philippe was born March 30, 1935 in St. Etienne, France, son of the late Leonce Arnaud and the late Louise Aimee Vial Arnaud.
Dr. Arnaud obtained his M.D. degree from the Medical University of Lyon, France, in 1969. From 1970 to 1975 he was an Assistant Professor of Biochemistry at the University of Lyon. In 1975 he moved to Charleston as a Visiting Assistant Professor at the Department of Basic and Clinical Immunology and Microbiology at MUSC. He earned his Ph.D. from MUSC in 1977 and was promoted to Associate Professor in 1979 and to Full Professor in 1984. In the same year he was named Vice-Chairman for Research and in 1985 Director for Research and Development. In 1987, after spending two years as a Visiting Scientist in the laboratory of Dr. Maxine F. Singer's Laboratory of Biochemistry at the National Cancer Institute, NIH, Bethesda, MD, he was named Director of the Laboratory of Molecular Genetic Medicine. After his retirement, in 2008, he was honored by the French Government with the honor and title of Chevalier des Palmes Academiques.
Dr. Arnaud was a prolific scientist. He published 200 articles in peer-reviewed journals and edited four books on the topics of his research, alpha 1 anti trypsin. He was also involved in teaching at many levels. He was dissertation advisor for several graduate students and welcomed to his laboratory 21 post-doctoral fellows from a number of nations, and hosted a number of Visiting Scientists from European Institutions.
He served on numerous MUSC committees and organized an exchange program between MUSC and the Universit" Claude Bernard in Lyon, France. Thirteen French students were enrolled with the sophomore medical class in the institution as a result of this exchange program. Each of them performed very well and benefited greatly from their experience at MUSC.
He was an excellent tennis player and an avid bridge player. He loved his private "French Library." Philippe's smile was legendary and called infectious. His universal culture was a pleasure to share.
In addition to his wife, Marie, he is survived by his children, Laurent Pierre Arnaud, Eric Alexandre Arnaud, Jean Christophe Arnaud; his daughter-in-law, Heather; and his grand-children, Alex, Melissa, Lauren, Christian, Sascha, and Stefan.
