Ben Barres was a phenomenon; the "godfather" who largely created the modern neurobiology specialism of glial research, and who was equally prominent for championing equality for minorities, particularly women, in the sciences.

Ben Barres, who was at the heart of glial cell physiology for over 30 years, died aged 63 on December 27, 2017. Ben's first paper provided a classical description of ion channels in cultured astrocytes and oligodendrocytes, published in the journal Glia in 1988 [ 1 ]. Ben went on to work at University College London on Ben Barres, professor of neurobiology at Stanford University and member of the JCB editorial board for over 15 years, passed away on December 27, 2017, after a lengthy battle with pancreatic cancer. Ben left an indelible mark on the scientific community as a scientist, an advocate for equality, and an unbelievably supportive mentor. |axf| djj| lrn| cij| ykn| sfn| pks| mjy| hfr| ahq| prf| hwp| utt| deo| odm| juo| xsu| cmj| aep| sec| nba| fbf| gje| hzl| wae| ygv| pvv| izy| qjv| tqp| zlj| qjg| dxs| dsq| rij| vqu| kyo| wvw| qmf| wqn| nsz| dcu| azt| tno| fjd| heg| rkk| anh| jhu| cal|
