In Memoriam | Michael J. Chamberlin
It is with great sadness that we report the passing of Michael J. Chamberlin, who died in his sleep on November 1, 2025, after declining health due to Parkinson’s and its accompanying dementia. Mike was a professor in the former Department of Biochemistry (1963-1989) and then in the Department of Molecular and Cell Biology, Division of Biochemistry and Molecular Biology, from 1989 until his retirement in 2001.
