It is with deep sadness that we remember Emil Skamene, a pioneer in genetic research at Â鶹Çø.Â
His groundbreaking work on host genetic susceptibility to infections has shaped the field for over three decades.
Skamene’s legacy continues to inspire scientists, including D2R’s Chief Scientific Officer, Philippe Gros, who, alongside Professor Erwin Schurr, honors him in a heartfelt eulogy published in Nature Genetics.
