Robert Grover is a living legend in cardiovascular pulmonary research. The first Grover Conference in 1984, the Estelle Grover Lecture, and the annual Robert F. Grover Prize are just a few examples of why so many of us know Bob’s name and his many contributions over the years. But few of us actually know the real man behind the famous name—until now, thanks to Elise, his wife and now his official biographer, in Always a Quest.

With his first wife and research partner, Estelle, Bob conducted research in the highest places in on three continents. Together they climbed mountains to study the effects of high altitude on the heart and lungs. In the Himalayas, they provided medical care to overzealous Mount Everest climbers. In the Andes, they studied the dust-filled lungs of Bolivian miners who worked in Potosí, the world’s largest silver mine. The Grovers settled in Denver and established the Cardiovascular Pulmonary Research Laboratory at the University of Colorado, where Bob trained many of today’s leading scientists in the field. His life story reveals how inspiration, combined with focus and dedication, will overcome challenges and lead to amazing achievements.
