It is with great sadness that we note the death of Pharmacology & Drug Discovery Faculty Member Stephen A. Udem.

Stephen joined F1000Prime in 2010. A native New Yorker, he was a student at the Albert Einstein College of Medicine, where he became a professor 25 years later, and he also held positions at the New Jersey Medical School over the course of his career. He was an esteemed virologist and vaccinologist, and his work focused on RNA viruses, specifically those causing human respiratory diseases. His achievements were extensive: he held many patents, has published over 80 papers, and contributed much to the design and development of vaccines, one of which is currently undergoing testing in clinical trials.

An obituary has been published by The New York Times, and you can read more about Stephen and his outstanding medical career on his website.

We extend our deepest sympathies to his friends and family.
