Professor Hallie Krider, a former member of the MCB faculty, passed away at his home in Arizona on May 31. A Wisconsin native, Hallie received his PhD in Genetics from the University of Wisconsin, Madison in 1971 and began working at UConn in the Genetics and Cell Biology section of the former Biological Sciences Group. He retired from MCB in 2005 after a distinguished 34-year career of teaching and research. His primary scientific interests lay in Drosophila and Gypsy moth developmental genetics, and practical aspects of disease diagnosis, particularly Lyme Disease. He helped organize the first versions of the biotechnology resource centers in MCB and was instrumental in bringing up-to-date microscopy methods to UConn. His avocational interests involved sailing, golfing, singing with an amazing voice, and conversing with good natured enthusiasm. View his obituary.
