Dear all,

I learned today the sad news about the passing away this week of Dr
Denis Verger, Protein Crystallographer at Heptares (UK).

Denis did his Ph.D. at the IBS in Grenoble, then moved "downunder",
first to the St. Vincent's Institute of Medical Research (Melbourne),
then to the Australian National University in Canberra. After a few
years of having his head upside down, Denis returned to Europe. He
worked in the Bioxtal company in France, before moving on to Birkbeck
College (University of London). Last year, he joined Heptares. During
his career, Denis never moved away from Protein Crystallography.

Denis has authored a number of publications, and was appreciated by
colleagues he interacted with. He is survived by his wife Sarah and (I
believe) two children.

I am enclosing herewith a picture of Denis taken in Tasmania back in May
1997 - Denis is on the right.

Fred.
