Statement from Professor Andrew P. McMahon
Frank B. Baird, Jr. Professor of Science and Chair of the Department of Molecular and Cellular Biology
December 21, 2001
The loss of Don Wiley is a tragic event. Don's contributions to our
understanding of immune system function and viral infection have had an
extraordinary impact. He tackled important biological problems with a
precision, clarity and insight that was inspirational. Over the last thirty
years Don has been a vital force in our Department. His combination of
energy, boyish enthusiasm and sharp intellect has played a major role in all
of our activities. His absence leaves a great void. Our thoughts are with
his family at this sad time.
