To whom it may concern It is with great sadness and a heavy heart that we must inform former students, postdocs and colleagues worldwide of the death of Rolf Hilgenfeld at the age of 71. He was a distinguished structural biologist at the Universities of Jena (1995-2002) and Lübeck (2003-2020), where he continued his research as a senior professor. He started his scientific career as a group leader at Hoechst AG (1986-1995), where he was actively involved in the development of long-acting insulin (Lantus®). One of his 3D protease structures served as a model for the bronze sculpture SARS Inhibited in the central square of the Biopolis Science City in Singapore (2006). In 2023, he was awarded the prestigious Carl-Hermann-Medal by the German Society for Crystallography for his life's work. Our condolences go out to his family, close friends and long-time companions.
