Introduction to the Special Issue Dedicated to the Memory of Alan J. Hunt

摘要

It is with both tremendous sadness and great pride that we commemorate the anniversary of the passing Prof. Alan J. Hunt of the Department of Biomedical Engineering at the University of Michigan on October 30, 2012 from an extremely rare form of appendix cancer at the age of 49. Alan was a great friend and colleague with an exceptional passion for science, and who brought great joy to those of us who were fortunate to have known him. He was a founding member of the board of Associate Editors of Cellular and Molecular Bioengineering, and helped bring this journal into existence.
