Dear LipidomicNet colleagues,

It is my pleasure to announce that the application deadline for the FEBS workshop on "Lipids" has been extended to July 1st 2012. Our impression is that -due to the uncertainty in Greece- many scientists were hesitant to register. With the relief of the political situation in Greece after the elections we are getting many last minute inquiries and therefore we have extended the deadline to July 1st. For more information, see the text below.

Of note: So far we only have a few applicants from the LipidomicNet partner labs. The 'Lipidomics' topic is a major theme of the workshop that is covered every day of the meeting. Therefore, please bring this workshop to the attention of students in your group or neighboring labs. We are convinced it will be worth while to participate, given the list of excellent speakers and topics. [Media:FEBS_Lipid_worskhop_2012.pdf]

Christian Rudolf Hubert Raetz, M.D., Ph.D. 1946-2011 With deep regret, we learned that Chris Raetz passed away this morning August 16, 2011. Chris was the George Barth Geller Professor of Biochemistry at Duke University Medical Center. Chris was born in East Berlin in 1946 and after immigrating to the US with his parents attended Yale University for undergraduate training in Chemistry and Harvard Medical School for his M.D. and Ph.D. He did his thesis work under the direction of Eugene P. Kennedy, Ph.D. and postdoctoral work under Herbert Tabor, Ph.D. at the NIH. After a successful faculty tenure at the University of Wisconsin, he joined Merck Research Laboratories first as executive director of biochemistry and later executive vice president of research in biochemistry and microbiology. In 1993 he became Professor and Chair of Biochemistry at Duke University Medical Center. Chris is most recognized for his elucidation of the biochemistry, genetics and structural biology relating to the pathway for Lipid A synthesis in Gram-negative bacteria. An excellent summary of his important contributions to the lipid field can be found in a recent Journal of Biological Chemistry Classics (http://www.jbc.org/content/286/29/e6.full). Chris received many awards and honors including the 1979 Camille and Henry Dreyfus Teacher-Scholar Award, the 2002 American Society for Biochemistry and Molecular Biology Avanti Award in Lipids, the 2006 L. L. M. van Deenen Medal from the University of Utrecht, the 2006 Frederik B. Bang Award from the International Endotoxin and Innate Immunity Society, and election to the National Academy of Sciences in 2006. Chris was an extraordinary scientist, mentor of young scientists, and friend to many. His passing at such a young age is a tremendous loss to the lipid community. Chris is survived by his wife Madeline, daughters Jackie and Lizzie and grandson Leopold.
