IN MEMORIAM
1940s Robert M. Chanock, SB ’45, MD ’47, an international leader in virology, died on July 30, 2010, in Sykesville, Maryland, at the age of 86. Chanock was former chief of the Laboratory of Infectious Diseases at the National Institute of Allergy and Infectious Diseases. He is best known for identifying and characterizing human respiratory syncytial virus (RSV), the most common cause of lower respiratory tract diseases in
infants and children worldwide. RSV accounts for more than 90,000 hospitalizations of infants each year in the United States alone, and for 1 million deaths worldwide. Chanock also discovered four parainfluenza viruses, new strains of rhinovirus and coronavirus, which can cause the common cold, and Mycoplasma pnemoniea, a cause of bacterial pneumonia. His lab developed vaccines against hepatitis A and rotavirus, among others, while making strides toward vaccines against RSV and dengue fever. Chanock received the highest awards and honors available for work on infectious diseases, and he was elected to the National Academy of Sciences. His wife, Catherine Elizabeth Osgood, and his son, Foster O. Chanock, preceded him in death. He is survived by his son, Stephen Chanock, and by grandchildren. Peter V.
