Richard Kahn

Dear ccp4 users,

It is with great sadness that I announce that Dr. Richard Kahn, Life Sciences Research Director in CNRS at Institute de Biologie Structurale Jean-Pierre Ebel (IBS), passed away on October 1, 2011, in Grenoble. 

He was a superb crystallographer. He was always very keen to collaborate and help on any subject you were involved, non-conventional data collections, phasing difficult structures, providing you his new phasing strategies and teaching and supervising young crystallographers. In addition and specially he was an excellent person and without doubt, those who knew Richard will never forget him.

You can send condolences, photos or any message you want to leave to jacqueline.cherfils at lebs.cnrs-gif.fr (President of the French Crystallography Association). They will be posted in the following web page:
