[RASMB] Steve Shire

[Olwyn Byron]

Steve really was a pioneer of the use of biophysical characterisation in the biopharmaceutical industry and transferred his wisdom to the whole AUC community - I still refer often to his chapter on AUC and its use in biotechnology in the 1994 Schuster and Laue book Modern Analytical Ultracentrifugation.  I first met Steve in the early 1990s and had the pleasure of meeting him several times subsequent to that - including here in Glasgow in 2000.  What I remember about him is his lovely voice, his accent and that he was always smiling - as you see in the lovely photo of him on the memorial webpage mentioned in Tom's other email.  And that's how I'll continue to remember him.

Best wishes,
Olwyn

Dear all-
I just learned that Steve Shire passed away yesterday. He brought protein solution biophysics to the early biopharma industry, and taught a lot of about how to characterize high-concentration protein solutions. He was a good friend, and a lot of fun to be around. I know we will all miss him tremendously.
Best wishes,
