Roger William Jeanloz (1917–2007)

Roger William Jeanloz, who passed away on September 12, 2007, a few weeks short of his 90th birthday, was among the earliest pioneers in the field of Glycobiology. He made seminal contributions to the subject and trained a number of leaders in the field. Among others, he was one of the prime organizers in the 1950s of the Glycosaminoglycans, Glycoproteins and Glycolipid Group (known as the 4Gs group), later named the Society of Complex Carbohydrates and eventually the Society for Glycobiology, and served as its President in 1974.


   From glycogen and deoxy sugars to complex carbohydrates
 
Jeanloz was born on November 3, 1917 in Berne, Switzerland, to a French mother and a Swiss-German father. He was brought up in French-speaking Geneva where he pursued classical studies emphasizing Greek and Latin at College Calvin. In 1936 he was awarded the B.S. degree and in 1941 a Diploma in Chemical Engineering from the University of Geneva, . . . [Full Text of this Article]
