A sad farewell to Dr Stuart Warren
Monday, March 23, 2020
We are very sad to be sharing the news that our colleague Dr Stuart Warren passed away on Sunday 22nd March.
Stuart retired in 2006 having spent almost his entire academic career here in Cambridge, including his years as a student.
He had studied Natural Sciences at Trinity College and stayed here to complete his PhD (with Malcolm Clark) before moving to Harvard to conduct postdoctoral research.
He then returned to Trinity as a research fellow before taking up a post at Churchill College as a teaching fellow in 1971. Stuart remained in the Department of Chemistry as a lecturer and researcher, and author of chemistry textbooks, until his retirement in 2006.
Head of Department Dr James Keeler says: "It is hard to overestimate Stuart's influence on generations of chemists, both here in Cambridge and well beyond.
"His dedication to teaching - and his influential textbooks - really changed the agenda. They are, without doubt, his important and enduring legacy to the whole chemistry community.
"Many of Stuart's former PhD students have gone on to fill leading roles in academia and in industry. And his presence in the Department had a wider influence on all who came into contact with him.
"We mourn the loss of a valued colleague, a dear friend and mentor to many, and a truly outstanding figure in organic chemistry.
