Colleagues- We regret to announce the untimely death of Dr. Chris Dealwis, Associate Professor of Pharmacology at Case Western Reserve University (CWRU), in Cleveland, Ohio. Chris worked on several important macromolecular structures, including renin, chemokines, amyloid-recognizing antibodies, ribonucleotide reductase, and dihydrofolate reductase. He was especially talented at applying a plethora of structural methods, including x-ray and neutron crystallography, mass spectrometry, and fluorescence spectroscopy amongst others, to probe complex biological assemblies and address fundamental biochemical problems. Chris trained at Imperial College London (with Prof. Tom Blundell), where he earned his Ph.D. in 1993. He then trained at the University of Chicago (with Prof. Keith Moffatt) and Yale University (Prof. Elias Lolis). He accepted a faculty position in the Biochemistry, Cellular and Molecular Biology Department at the University of Tennessee, Knoxville, Tennessee (UTK) in 1999. After achieving tenure at UTK, Chris moved his lab to CWRU in 2007. He mentored numerous undergraduate and graduate students as well as several postdoctoral researchers. We, his colleagues and friends, mourn his loss and will miss him greatly.
Sincerely- Brad C. Bennett Assistant Professor, Biological and Environmental Science Department Samford University Dealwis Lab alumnus (Ph.D., 2005) ######################################################################## To unsubscribe from the CCP4BB list, click the following link: https://www.jiscmail.ac.uk/cgi-bin/WA-JISC.exe?SUBED1=CCP4BB&A=1 This message was issued to members of www.jiscmail.ac.uk/CCP4BB, a mailing list hosted by www.jiscmail.ac.uk, terms & conditions are available at https://www.jiscmail.ac.uk/policyandsecurity/
