We marked the sad passing of William E Paul in September – a leader in the field of Immunology and a Section Head of the ‘Allergy & Hypersensitivity’ in our Immunology Faculty. Since then, we’ve received many tributes from members of the F1000 Faculty for Dr Paul – a testament to his influence and kindness – some of which we share here.

Anuradha Ray, Faculty Member in ‘Leukocyte Signaling & Gene Expression’:

“I am very saddened by this. Bill was very dear to me – he did a lot of work on GATA-3 and type 2 responses after our initial discovery of GATA-3 as a type 2 factor in 1997. I often reviewed papers he edited for PNAS and also, at AAI’s 2013 centennial celebration, co-chaired a session on T cell differentiation with him. With all other immunologists, I will miss his support, valuable advice and sense of humor.”

Carl Ware, Faculty Member the ‘Allergy & Hypersensitivity’ Section:

“I was so very privileged to write a chapter in Bill’s Fundamental Immunology. He is missed, but never forgotten.”

---

Jonathan Howard, Faculty Member in ‘Genetics of the Immune System’:

“Very sad indeed. A great immunologist and a great man.”

Dieter Kabelitz, Section Head of ‘Innate Immunity’:

“Bill was a real great scientist and, in addition, an exceptional person.”

Alberto Mantovani, Faculty Member in ‘Innate Immunity’:

“I was very sad when I learnt that Bill had passed away. Awfully sorry. He made a seminal contribution and was a lovely human being. He was a real Maestro.”

Warren Leonard, Faculty Member in ‘Leukocyte Signaling & Gene Expression’:

“He was an extraordinary person and true mensch in addition to being a brilliant scientist. I will miss him greatly.”
