The Foundation was greatly saddened to learn of the passing away of Sir Christopher M. Dobson.

Chris was a close friend of the Foundation and as Master of St John’s College was an invaluable partner in helping the Foundation organize activities in Cambridge. Our thoughts go out to his wife Mary and sons, Richard and William.

More details about Chris’s life and achievements can be found in the tribute from St John’s College on their website, which also includes a link to an online book of condolences.

In December 2014 Chris gave a Philippe Wiener Lecture entitled “The Molecular Nature of Neurodegenerative Diseases: From Theory to Therapy” at the ULB.
