In memoriam – Andrei Medvedev

摘要

It was a sad day when I received news about the sudden and unexpected passing of Dr. Andrei E. Medvedev in late July while he was in Russia visiting his mother. Andrei was a great scientist and friend. He completed his PhD in Moscow and came to Terje Espevik’s lab at NTNU in Norway in 1993 as a postdoc, where I met him. He moved to the US in 1996 to join Stefanie Vogel’s lab at the Uniformed Services University of Health Sciences in Bethesda. In 2002, Stefanie and Andrei relocated to the University of Maryland, and Andrei moved through the ranks there, becoming an Associate Professor with his own lab. Later, he moved to the UConn Health Center in 2013.
