What sad sad news. I first met Chris in 1991as a PhD student. I did a post-doc in the USA and the day I landed back in the UK, Chris phoned me to offer me a post-doc position in his lab. Eighteen months later, he had arranged for me to consult to a biotechnology company and that's where my career in biotech started. I remained good friends with Chris ever since and we met up regularly. My experience of Chris was a generous person, fair in his dealings with people and always willing to give up his time for the greater good. I remember asking his advice, even as recently as just over a year ago, and him suggesting meeting up over lunch to chat. And yet, I have not even touched on his scientific contributions. What fond memories I have and am very sad about his premature loss. He will be missed by many I'm sure. My thoughts and deepest condolences to his family.
