Malcolm Lidierth
(1961-2019)
The Society is saddened to hear of the death of Member Malcolm Lidierth at the age of 58. A neurophysiologist with a rare talent for in vivo recording, he completed a PhD with David Armstrong in Bristol before becoming a lecturer in 1990 at the Sherrington School of Physiology at UMDS, later part of King’s College London. As well as collaborating with Pat Wall on studies of the dorsal horn and Lissauer tract, Malcolm had a particular flair for developing physiological analysis software, which he made freely available to others and thus it was widely used. An innovative and conscientious teacher, he ran a highly popular 3rd year neuroscience module for many years.
