We are sad to mark the passing of Paolo Bianco, Faculty Member in Rheumatology. Professor Bianco was a Pathologist and Professor of Pathology at the Sapienza University of Roma in Italy, and well known for his work in stem cells, skeletal physiology and bone diseases.

“Paolo made great contributions both in the science of stem cells itself and also in the area of advocating for responsible science,” according to fellow cell biologist Paul Knoepfler, and he was “a dedicated champion of evidence-based medicine in the stem cell field.”

Dr Bianco passed away suddenly, age 60. Tributes for him have been written at the Scientist, the International Society for Stem Cell Research (ISSCR) and the American Society for Bone and Mineral Research (ASBMR).

Our sincere condolences to Paolo’s family, friends and colleagues.
